    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • My internship was an overall enjoyable experience, despite coming from an English background I never found that I was out of my depth and I was always able to ask for advice.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Trade at Citi is incredibly hardworking but strikes the perfect balance of being sociable too, I was always invtied and involvd with Trade events!

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager and team gave me fantastic suport and guidance, faultless!

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The first few weeks were pretty slow and although I had two projects I was never particularly busy, when however, an analyst on another desk was away and I was asked to get involved with more work I found that far more stimulating and enjoyable!

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given full ownership of my two projects but I also enjoyed working with others to ensrue tasks were completed.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Having never done excel before, I have gained a good understanding of how to filter, analyse complex data into a clear summary for Seniors.

    The Company

    • Trade was always buzzing!

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Although I really enjoyed the internship, I found the communication between getting my offer, to signing the contract, to the processing of all the interns on our first day to be rather disorganised.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Although all of the other divisions received training, our training was just on the job, it would have been useful to have learnt about the data systems, excel and the bloomberg channel.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would love to work within Trade!

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • As interns we organised our own social events!

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived around Old Street which was great, not too far from Canary Wharf!

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London!

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Citi have incredible societies such as sailing, polo and anything you can really imagine but only found out about these opportunities through colleagues, full time analysts were surprised to hear that we hadn't been told about these societies.
