Hello everyone,
I am going for an assessment centre in Citi the week beginning 12th April for a Summer internship position in operations. As far as I know there are two assessment centres, one on the 12th and one on the 15th April
Can someone that already attended an assessment centre for a summer internship in operations share his/her experiences?
What is the structure of the assessment centres?
Do we have to complete any numerical tests?

No, i dont have any idea. It is the first and last round. I didnt go through an interview with Citi. I was invited straight to the assessment centre after I completed the online numerical test.
What about you?
Btw are you undergraduate or postgraduate?

Well Keshu, you have to prepare lots of competency based questions. There are intensive interviews, a case study which is not related to the financial industry( have in mind all outcomes), presentation based on it (do them in separate slides in order to be more clear) defend your project in group work( refer all the time to the company strategy and values) but also show that you can collaborate with the others (the goal is achieve cost savings so you really need to work as a team), take the intiative when it arises( do the summary report). At the end it is the numerical test I could not complete it all only 9 out of 20( I was too tired, slept only 4 hours as I had to fly to London). Be yourself and show them that you are very motivated!
Good luck Keshu!
I also have an assessment centre coming up, I would appreciate any tips.
