Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I complete research, leverage AI to automate team's projects and join meetings and calls to get an understanding of what my team get up to.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, for a summer inter, definitely. I was an integral correspondent between vendor companies, the risk team and the product team, to make sure everyone was on the same page about governance risks. Got to lead stand-up meetings and take ownership of leveraging AI across the team.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

- From my buddy, mentor and manager so much encouragement and I felt like if I had any issues or fell ill or made mistakes and was able to handle it correctly, they would have my back and get me back on track
- Really felt like I was cared about as part of the team and encouraged to take a break when needed and nudged to push myself to learn new things
- Also, the other graduate interns helped a lot in understanding the other areas of my division and providing advice on how to tackle the internship
- Definitely a great, comfortable working environment, where I was pushed enough, while not feeling overwhelmed

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

- Encouraging! Everyone was happy to make time in their diary for me to chat to them and in my team, I was always being taken care of in one way or another. I had enough work to get on with, while still being encouraged to network and find out more about Citi during my 10 weeks.
- I was also able to adapt the program to my interests, so merge my business area with my skill set and various business area interests to create a synergy for the team and add value in the ways I knew best. This helped me learn a lot about myself as well and what I do best

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

10/10 couldn't have asked for a better team and firm to spend my summer at! It was structured enough that I didn't feel lost, but flexible enough that my team could adapt to my strengths, so I could add the most value I can over the next few weeks and learn as much as possible.
