Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day was different, giving a great overview of what it’s like to work at Citi Belfast. We got first hand experience looking at what each area of Operations does, as well as getting to learn about the social and welfare benefits of being a Citi employee. Overall was a very good experience.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We got a great insight into the opportunities available at Citi from a graduate level, and shown the opportunities to develop and work our way up through the company. We were given great detail in how the bank operates and the different departments that all come together for a shared goal
