Ankit Mohan (Class of 2011 - IIM Ahmedabad)

I had a chance of being a part of Citigroup Global Markets - Market Risk team as a summer associate. The internship was well structured where every summer intern was assigned a mentor right from Day 1. My mentor regularly spent time with me to familiarize me with the culture and

working environment of the organization and then later on his guidance proved extremely helpful while working on my projects. I completed two projects which gave me understanding of

the Risk aspect of the Markets business. The work culture was informal and everyone was approachable and ready to help an intern out. Overall it was an enriching experience and my

gains from the process exceeded my expectation.

My project required me to analyze and suggest ways for improvisation of the sales process flow. The best part of the internship experience apart from learning the tricks of the trade, was to work in multicultural environment with highly competent people. As an intern I unabashedly

asked questions and understood the trade in and out. The open environment at Citibank encourages a person to move out of his comfort zone and explore. One need not be restricted

to his desk; I could talk to people across the organization part of various functions and get a view of the whole business. Summer internship program at Citibank is a structured

development program which is tailored to suit one's individual's needs. It allowed me the opportunity to plot my own course and maximize my development. Neha Aggarwal

Tresa Sankoorikal (Class of 2011 - Jamnalal Bajaj Institute

of Management Studies)

When my internship commenced, I was very anxious about whether I would be able to live up to expectations as per Citi Standards. But within the first few days, with impeccable support from my project guide, I knew I had little reason to worry. My project involved a study of the Power sector and at the end of two months, I felt that I had acquired more knowledge in that domain than I could have imagined possible in a span of eight weeks. I was part of the Risk department

but received help and inputs from members of various other departments as well. Overall it was an extremely pleasant experience and the value addition from my two months at Citibank

cannot be overemphasized.

‘Impressions', our 8 week internship program, is structured to provide students like you a broad overview of our organization

and also provide meaningful exposure to a business function. Every project assigned has a definite business rationale giving

students exposure to some of the live business challenges in today's competitive environment.

Over a period of time, Citi has used this as an effective way to hire Management Associates (MA). Every year, basis the

performance during the internship and a rigorous pre-placement interview process, significant population of the Summer

Interns join Citi as MAs. For instance, in 2010, more than 50% of the total population hired for the MA program was a part of
