    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really appreciated the fact that the program was well-structured, engaging, and informative. Each activity was designed to either teach you something about the bank and the industry, or get to know the participants better.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The small size of the group made it easier to feel valued. The HR team was available at any moment to answer questions, and encouraged us to be involved at every step.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The HR team distributed documents at the beginning of the week to explain the different activities we would partake in. They were available at any time to answer questions and made sure that each student would take advantage of what was offered to them.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I was already familiar with the industry, as well as the roles of the full-time employees we met, before joining the program. The Insights Week simply helped me confirm that it was the right career for me.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Extremely well structured. We were kept busy throughout the week, and the week was over before I could realize it.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • I expected a competitive atmosphere, mostly because of the assessment centre happening at the end of the week. However, I was proven wrong. All the participants were extremely friendly and eager to learn more about the industry and the other students. I made a lot of friends during the program.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The program was mostly designed to be informative, rather than focused on training and developing specific skills.

    3/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Very informative, both concerning the culture of the company, as well as the role of a full time employee (thanks to the work shadowing process).

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Almost of the speeches we received and the activities we engaged in included a company culture dimension.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I left the program with the insurance that I wanted to start my career in investment banking.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Structured reimbursement policy.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There were opportunities to meet employees, but discussions were mostly possible during the last two days of the program.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The setting was rather informal, which allowed the participants to ask all the questions they had regarding the day-to-day tasks, culture of the company, career progression opportunities, etc.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • There was a networking lunch dedicated to this topic during the last day of the event.

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Absolutely, I do not regret spending a week at UBS at all.
