    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was not very structured in a way what you do is totally dependent on what your line manager gives you. But thats the beauty of this program, unlike other Spring Weeks. However, there were still some other structured programs like networking session with people from other divisions and a social event.

    3/5

    4/5
  • 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?

    Everything Else

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

    • Nope, not paid. Not reimbursed as well because I live in London. But those not living in London were given a room in a hotel.

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

    • Yes, there were 2 such networking opportunities which I felt was sufficient given how this program was actually aiming to let us fully experience for 1 week how working at Citi is like.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Good, they invited quite a number of staff across various divisions, and some of them were quite senior as well.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Yes, but basically you got to be proactive and find people to talk to across the division and the bank if you want to find out more about a particular area or business.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Definitely, this is the better of the two spring internships that I did.
