About You
Citi provided a fantastic insight into their company and culture by enabling students to spend a considerable amount of time working with teams on real tasks during the week. This was well supplemented by informational talks and workshops.
I was treated with the same level of mutual respect as a full time analyst.
There was a "Buddy" assigned to each student who was the first point of contact, everybody on the assigned team was happy to help given that they had time.
Transferable (if not directly applicable) to degrees of various types and invaluable beyond.
The Company
Well structured generally, some information sessions could have been restructured but feedback was taken on well by HR.
Exciting in general, but due to the nature of the job mornings are slower.
Provided us with workshops and talks to showcase Citi's commitment to personal development.
Gave a superb insight in just one week, learnt what it is like to be an analyst.
There was a clear focus on Citi's culture throughout the week, both in presentations and real life.
Enabled me to form my own opinion through experience.
Everything Else
Meals were either provided or reimbursed by Citi.
Two specific networking events were held throughout the week, with senior and junior employees. People were also available to go for a coffee with.
Well organised.
There was a talk about charitable work supported by Citi, employees also spoke honestly about their free time.
Yes, highly.
