Support and Guidance

A lot of guidance was given. The "Buddy" system was pretty good, I am still in touch with my "Buddy", and HR did an amazing job as well to ensure everyone had the best chance of success

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Amazing culture. They look for what a successful Analyst looks like, rather than what knowledge they have coming in, which means that as long as you show progress and a willingness to learn (this is very key for Citi), then you stand a good chance. This is quite different than some other banks.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed the Internship very much and I felt that Citi was the place for me to start my career. Many people at Citi started their careers there and never went anywhere else, having been there for 10+ years, and it's easy to see why!

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Citi to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Citi
Your eagerness to learn and genuine interest in the business goes much, much further than whatever guides you read online about all these models you need to learn (in truth, many divisions don't do modelling at all!)
