Intern Review

I really enjoyed it! People were all friendly (both staff and fellow interns), the program was well-arranged with the inspirational speakers series and product team sessions and valuation tutorials. Quite a few socials between interns and with seniors, which gave us the opportunity to meet others while having fun. Good culture

Would often receive feedback after every piece of work, so was clear how I was contributing

Given feedback after every piece of work, so could learn how to improve for next time. Encouraged to set personal and business goals, and reviewed them both in the middle and at the end of the internship. Assigned buddies so we could have somebody to talk to, ask questions, etc.

Depended on the day but generally manageable. Summer is known to be a quieter period

Felt like I could have been given more responsibility, but also dependent on the number of juniors in the team/ whether the team has capacity/ how technical the nature of work is. But definitely received more responsibility as the internship progressed and I showed that I was able to complete work to a good standard

Don't think the skills I've developed will necessarily assist me in my degree (but that's because my degree is unrelated to finance), but definitely do think that the powerpoint and excel skills will be easily transferable to anything that I do. Same goes for the personal skills I've developed over the course of 9 weeks.

Friendly culture and see a lot of collaboration going on. In my team specifically, people would like to have a good chat with each other but knew when to buckle down and work. Was easy to integrate into the team as everybody was welcoming. We had almost weekly Friday socials

Overall very good, though we weren't told of details of our final case study assessment until 2 days prior. Received good business-specific training, had interesting talks and a good overview of the different aspects of the business, and even had the opportunity to volunteer at UBS' partner organization for half a day.

Lots of inspirational speakers who came in to talk to us (GB paralympian rower, GB Olympian rower), had the Head of Creativity of Google come in to talk to us about personal brand. Everybody was given training in their respective business areas, which I thought gave us a good foundation before we hit the desks

Not entirely sure on this question - but have doctor on site and gym on site

Friendly, easy to talk to

Pretty standard City prices, though UBS has an in-house canteen which serves decent food

Have a few bars around Broadgate circle (right outside the office), but also close to Shoreditch - which has many bars

Didn't have much time to get involved in other activities, though there were many that I could have joined
