Hey I'm just wondering what people's insights are regarding doing an internship at Citigroup or at UBS. I know both firms are top quality, however any information distinguishing the named firms would be much appreciated.

btw this is in IBD
in the US?
I would think that UBS makes more sense if you're thinking long term and potentially international exposure.
Just read the news about their IBD right now.
Yeah. Citi is a 300-pound-gorilla analyst sweatshop that has money in everything (due to the size of its balance sheet) but no finesse. UBS is going to look like CS did about 5 years back, which is to say in the dumper.
At a personal level, Citi folks tend to be hard-driving, sharp-elbowed, and very arrogant at the senior levels. Then again, that last comment is true for just about anyone who's worked their way up the ranks to the top. Don't know many UBS folks, but the Euro banks in general have a more... European feel to them. Strange, I know.
