Citi

Consumer banking intern

June - August 2022 • New York City, NY

What I liked

It was a great environment, everyone is extremely welcoming and helpful at Citi. They are always willing to sit down and chat with interns to discuss life at Citi and how they got there.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had more opportunities to explore different sectors of the bank rather than being strictly in consumer banking the entire time.

Advice

If you have the opportunity to intern with Citi take it, they're not like every other big bank and have a refreshing environment.

ICG Ops Summer Intern

What I liked

Mentor-Mentee relationship was heavy encouraged, a lot of learning opportunities to seek out, a lot of people who have been through this internship that are willing to talk about their experience

What I wish was different

Longer, more structured

Advice

Reach out to anyone who was a speaker at any session, they are more than willing to talk to you. Do not wait till the last few weeks to really dive into the network. Learn about which department you want to pursue.

What I wish was different

I wish we had more weeks in-person! It was incredible.

Advice

Take advantage of the Bloomberg terminal on campus (Mendoza) :)

treasury and trade solutions summer analyst

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I loved the company. I felt very inclusive and was a great first step into the finance world. As there are so many different departments withing TTS, they gave us the opportunity to rank where we would like to be placed and almost everyone got their first or second choice. This allowed me to really focus where I was most interested so I could get the most out of my summer. Citi also did a great job of setting up training, not just at the start of the internship but through out the whole summer to really help make me feel more comfortable with my role and how the bank as a whole operates. Moreover, they provide every intern with two mentors and multiple networking events in order to get to know as many people as possible in a comfortable environment.

What I wish was different

Although there is very little negative I could say, I do wish there had been more clarity about the return offer and exit interview process at the end. I felt that not having very much information on the process just made me even more nervous and unsure of how exactly I should be preparing.

Advice

The biggest piece of advice would be to network. Although, this is something everyone stresses before you get the internship. It is just as important once you are there. Setting up meetings and coffee chats with other people in the business, at different levels of seniority, really helped me to get a deeper understanding of how the business works and where I fit in. Talking to people and getting to know them also helped me learn more about the day to day of different jobs within the bank more than just their overall role.

Global Information Security Analyst

June - August 2019 • Irving, TX

What I liked

I loved the people that Citi recruits! Had an amazing time collaborating with other interns and getting to know the company. The class size and housing assistance was my favorite part, it made the internship itself very enjoyable.

What I wish was different

Citi is a global company, so it is not a negative aspect whatsoever, but I would have appreciated being informed that my team would not be on campus. I was able to learn and collaborate in new ways(such as conference calls and video calls), which in the end helped develop my professional-interpersonal skills!

Advice

Make sure you ask questions about your role and reach out , not only to your manager(as most managers are busy!), but to also reach out to other team members and those around you!!

FX Intern

July - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I got a firsthand experience of the trading floor. I the opportunity to network and explore various different companies including Bloomberg. I was also able to meet many different company executives and learn from there experiences. I also got a few books to read.

What I wish was different

I wish it were a longer experience and more hands on. Being that it was only a month and our schedule was packed we didn’t get an opportunity to learn the technicals or trading like I wanted to.
