Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I have received a fantastic level of support from my line manager at Citi, who has been essential in helping me build my skills, providing encouragement and enabling my growth and success. I thoroughly enjoy working with him and would recommend him not just as a manager but as a mentor, coach and human being. The training provider, Corndel has also been very hands on in providing training, support and assistance every step of the way, with weekly exercises and regular training and catch up sessions.

My company has a positive culture with significant focus on achieving the challenging objectives and delivering on the goals that will enable it to become even more successful, without losing sight of all the things that make it so special. At a local level, my team is extremely hard working, but also supportive and caring. When I joined I was welcomed like a long lost family member and I am proud to say that I work for Citi.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Citi to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Citi
I would highly recommend Citi as an employer and I would also recommend judging Citi based on its people, its culture and its performance, and not on outdated stereotypes or cliches. It has surprise me how human it is and how much the human element is a critical part of its success.
