An analyst gave their background at the front and mentioned he lateral'd from Citi as did the MD and VP at the info session (all 3 lateral'd from Citi at different points of their career). I went to a lot of bank info sessions during recruitment and there was one info session for an Asian bank (MUFG/ HSBC) type bank. This analyst we were surrounding would ignore every question and spent 10 minutes talking about how much he wanted to go to Centerview and how much better it is there. Yes, this Citi MD was bragging about how bad his culture was.Īt this same info session, above, we eventually broke out into networking which consists of 10 starry eyed sophomores surrounding an analyst and asking terrible questions while trying to sound smart. He also told a "funny story" about how he once yelled at an analyst for making a mistake.

My first info session the MD stood up to the front of the podium and spent 15 minutes on why Citi is top-tier bank because they hold analysts accountable for mistakes which helps you learn. A pretty open person to my friends about how much I hate Citi and saw a lot of posts here hating on them lately so thought I'd share the reasons I hate them as well, feel free to chime in below on why you hate Citi.Ĭiti would come to my campus a twice a year for info sessions and OCR.
