Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to support the team that I was in, learn as much as I could about the department, and about Citi’s culture. I did this through joining team meetings, setting up Coffee chats with senior employees, and getting walkthroughs of different areas in Citi Operations.
At the end I gave a presentation on a project I had worked on over the internship
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was responsible for closing duplicate cases which reduced the workload for the whole department that I was in. I was also helping on Audit deliverables with my manager and team lead.
There definitely was some responsibility given to me but nothing strenuous
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I developed my analytical and communication skills through Excel and Python. Lots of my job revolved around customer data, and how I could extract info from it. This would then be used by the team or myself to do their daily jobs, or do draw up historical data charts and tables.
I also got to learn more about Financial markets, Economics and Networking through Neueda training

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was fantastic support for anyone that wanted it. All the HR team were on hand to answer any questions that I had, as were my manager, team lead, and team.
I also gained a valuable mentor through the D&I Network that I signed up to.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It was a personable and social culture that took their work seriously. They dealt with large amounts of money on a daily basis, but could still stop to chat and have lunch with you. I really liked the atmosphere at Citi
