    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The insights program gave a good overall view of the business, however, it lack specific time within the chosen division. I feel spending more time talking to division specific and doing division specific exercises would have been more beneficial.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • UBS was incredibly welcoming and not one employee gave any indication that the firm didn't value them.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • We received excellent support from each division through presentations and workshops.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The program developed few skills, however, teamwork and communication played a central role to the week. It is important to note that the week was based on learning information and skills were not the main priority.

    3/5

  • Plenty. Everyday provided an opportunity to network.

    5/5

    5/5
