    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I believe I was given quite a lot compared to other interns. My team let me send things to clients directly. Moreover, I was able to work directly with the senior team on some documents and tasks which allowed me to get more exposure to how my director works.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • My team was always available to answering my questions and expecting me to ask them. Even when working with my director, I was very comfortable with asking questions. Moreover, my analyst would always explain the analyses he did (and that I was not involved in due to the complexity) after they were completed. Which allowed me to better understand the tasks of an analyst.

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • The company culture is really good. Even though in my team I was allocated to a vertical, people in the other verticals were also very welcoming. We had the chance to have events with junior people and a lunch with the MDs in our team in an informal environment. Also the staffers and HR were always open to us flagging any issues we had.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Citi

Interviewers end up picking the candidates that were able to create an enjoyable and natural conversation so that they could relate to.
