    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I thought the insight was a wonderful experience as we were able to see how citi works, and get to know people that work there. We were given the opportunity to see first hand the work environment.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt extremely valued through out the whole week as we were constantly given the opportunity to ask questions, network and be treated as equals. The fact there was an AC at the end of the week was very motivating.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • As much as each of us wanted. We were constantly given cards and reminded that we could reach out to anyone inside the bank for questions of any type. I think I was specially lucky with the group of girls I was with, as we all asked many questions which made us receive a lot of guidance.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The information I received had nothing to do with what I have learnt in my degree, something I find extremely useful.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight was really good structured as we were able to see the different areas of the bank in just one week, this being extremely useful.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was great, all the girls got along very well and I am confident we will keep in touch and see each other in a future.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The company invested a lot in us, like for example in all the girls that came from outside the UK. I think this demonstrates how much Citi worries about who they employ and how they look for the best people in the world.

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Being able to spend time with the employees and doing workshadowing, I am positive that all of us at the end of the week got a very good view of what it would be like working in Citi.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I think this is by far what I most liked of the spring week, being able to learn first hand the culture of the bank and see how everyone works and what type of people are hired.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Extremely valuable as we were explained all the areas of the bank, so we were not choosing whithout knowing.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was not reimbursed expenses as there was a deadline to submit the receipt and I did not do it on time.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes, we had a lot of events for networking. There was one I liked a lot in particular, which consisted in Pizza Night with the juniors as it was very informal and easy to talk to everyone.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • All the opportunities where different and great at the same time, learning every day how to act in these types of situations and meeting different people around the bank.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, there was a lot of time focused on the benefits Citi has and how they worry about the lifestyle and happiness of their employees.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would recommend, and in fact already have, this insight to everyone. I think it's a unique opportunity.

    5/5
