    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed the project we had to do during the work experience week. Although it was difficult and stressful at times I learned a few skills that I may not have otherwise. For instance, I learned PHP code basically from scratch.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • As a tech student, it seemed like tech was really valued in Citi. I felt the employees of Citi wanted to give us the best experience possible and they went out of their way to do things for us when they didnt have to. For instance, coming to talk to us about their experience of Citi, helping us with our projects and answering any questions we had for them.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • We received a lot of support during the insight, particularly during the project from members of staff.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills I have learned will help me in my studies as well as beyond that. For instance, Sarah gave us information on how to make a useful CV, and what to include, as well as what not to include.
