Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was involved in managing corporate actions on behalf of Citi and its clients through running consistent reports with updates from such clients and utilising Citi's internal systems to effectively manage corporate actions, both existing and new.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not too much as to overwhelm me but not too little as to leave me completely without any tasks to accomplish throughout the day- a good balance.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A decent amount from HR and from those responsible for training, and an acceptable amount from my immediate team on day-to-day tasks. Beyond the first few weeks, it was assumed that I would bring my own concerns to the table rather than being checked up on frequently.

Very much- having come from a college scenario the year prior, it was great to come into an inclusive atmosphere where I could see the practicality of what I was learning. The internship certainly become more enjoyable as time went on and I settled into my role more and more.
