    About You

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

    • Really enjoyed it. Only three days but went past much quicker. Was exhausted by the end of each day.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Only there for three days but everyone we met including heads of departments were all very willing to answer any questions we had and were very friendly.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • We were given a timetable before the insight began so knew what would be happening on the various days. Accommodation is provided if you live outside London. We also had a telephone conference before the event if we needed to ask any additional questions.

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

    • Learnt so much, had never really thought about Capital Markets Origination or Treasury and Trade Solutions but these were explained extremely well by representatives from each sector.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured, was able to gain insight into each different aspect of Citi, there was lots of opportunities for networking. The days were long and fairly full on, we didn't get many breaks, but the days went extremely quickly/

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Loved the group of girls I was with. Was a lot of fun and at no point did you really feel you were under intense scrutinisation.

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

    • 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?

    • Was able to work shadow in a sector of our choice, I was able to go down to the commodities trading floor and spend two hours there shadowing various desks. Absolutely loved it, to actually see the deals being done was brilliant.

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • As we were on the Women of Tomorrow programme the diversity especially was brought up a lot.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Very useful. By the end majority of the girls I spoke to had decided which sector they wanted to apply to.

    5/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Hotel provided if you live outside London.

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

    • Speed networking on first day with representatives from each sector. Pub Quiz on second day with analysts. Plus plenty of other opportunities.

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

    • Very good, especially the pub quiz was a lot of fun. Gave us a relaxed environment to chat more with analysts who had completed the graduate programme.

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

    • 2/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes, especially if you are unsure about your future sector, this insight really sets it out very easily. Especially if you have not throughout about CMO or TTS, I had never heard of TTS before the insight.
