    5/5

    5/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I believe Citi directed a lot of time and effort towards ensuring that the program would replicate an in-person Spring Week as closely as possible. They organized networking sessions as well as presentations and Q&As with employees from all positions within the company, ranging from Analysts to the most senior Managing Directors.

  • 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?

    • I believe that the conversations with analyst were incredibly valuable. I think it is extremely commendable that the analysts did not only focus on telling us how great investment banking is as a job, but rather gave very honest answers to tough questions, regarding working hours and the lifestyle of Analysts.

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • I don't think a single speaker failed to give some information about the company culture. I thought it was great that employees from arguably very different departments within the firm mentioned the same aspects of the culture that they thought made Citi special. I believe getting to know Citi's culture was one of the main outcomes of the week.

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Going into the Spring Week I was already convinced that Citi would be an employer that I would enjoy working for in the future. The program reinforced this and convinced me that Citi would be a great fit for me. I hope Citi shares this impression. The week also fortified my desire to work in BCMA.

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • The program was unpaid.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Yes, even though the program was virtual, we did not only meet the speakers that gave presentations throughout the week. A virtual live chat helped us get to know more employees from different divisions and ask them any questions we had. Apart from this, I got to know other interns through Whatsapp and Zoom.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Citi made the most of the situation.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Yes, this was once again as a result of the live chat and the talk given by Analysts. I found out that Citi employees can get involved in many clubs and sports teams, as well as further education in coding languages etc. I was pleased to find out that pursuing your interests at work was possible at Citi.

    5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
