The risk and compliance level 3 is not wholly matched with my job role and is more of a general overview however it does provide insight into the industry and function that my job sits within.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Lots of networks available I am specifically a part of interfaith network
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Citi to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I truelly think that a job is not made enjoyable purely by the work you are doing or just solely by enjoying that work but by the people you work with and I find that I am surrounded by amazing and supportive people at Citi.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Citi?
Be yourself and show what value you would add as well as how Citi could help you grow personally.
