Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were given a packed schedule of talks from Monday until Friday from around 9am to 4/5 pm. The talk were from amazing people within all the different business areas. Each one give us a great insight into their area of work and what it entails.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very interesting. The people from each role really showed us how for a wide range of roles your course didn't matter as much as I thought and a lot of the learning is done once you start working at Citi.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company seems very welcoming. They really seem to embrace diversity and inclusion through both policy and people. A few of the talks really highlighted the wide range of clubs and societies that help push these goals.
Everyone who talked to us was more than happy to answer any further questions on LinkedIn or by email which I thought was great.
