Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Data analytics (Excel and Python) and automation (self-initiated and not expected of interns); market research and analysis; creating client-facing decks and materials; assisting with administrative tasks such as hosting meetings, taking minutes, creating internal newsletters, etc.; presentations to seniors
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Extensive responsibility - I fortunate enough to work on projects where I could take initiative and lead large portions. I would say that this is on a case-by-case basis - dependent on the intern, the team they work with, management, etc.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Citi to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Citi
Research the division you are applying to thoroughly and demonstrate in interviews - for instance, TTS is heavily product-based and a lot of information about these products can be found publicly online, so you should learn some and explore one or two in-depth that interest you. They don't expect you to understand how the company is structured unless you have previous experience in a bank.
