About You
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.
UBS was incredibly welcoming and not one employee gave any indication that the firm didn't value them.
We received excellent support from each division through presentations and workshops.
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.
The Company
Perfectly managed and structured with a good balance between divisions.
The staff were hospitable, the employees enthusiastic and the other interns friendly I would 100% recommend UBS based on the environment it fosters.
UBS showed a caring attitude towards the betterment of employees. I believe working there beyond an insight program would benefit me a lot.
It gave a good snapshot into my chosen division, however, I would have preferred more time shadowing on the desks.
Staff all agreed that UBS has a good culture to foster employees and a friendly working environment.
Extremely I now have decided it is the career for me.
Everything Else
I personally wasn't reimbursed due to not requiring the service but all interns from outside London received the living and travel expenses.
Plenty. Everyday provided an opportunity to network.
Almost as many employees as interns provided good opportunity to ask questions and talk extensively one on one with several industry professionals.
UBS provided a panel Q&A on beyond the desk activities.
100% I would recommend the environment and culture of UBS as well as the new office to be moved into soon will make for an enjoyable time at the bank.
