    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I thoroughly enjoyed the Spring Insight Week Programme. We were given the opportunity to learn about the global nature of Citi's operations and gained insights into each of Citi's business departments. We covered Mergers & Acquisitions, BCMA (Banking, Capital Markets & Advisory), Treasury & Trade Solutions, Interviews & Assessment Centres, and other hot topics like Artificial Intelligence & a Post-Pandemic World.
