'Impressions' - The Internship Program at Citibank

‘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
'Impressions' at Citi.

Here is what some of the interns, who just completed their internship
with Citi have to say about 'Impressions':

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
(Class of 2011 - DOMS, IIT Delhi)

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.

increased visibility in these places but also the ability to
