The Role
My role really helped me explore other areas of the bank and I learned loads!
I got really close with my team and it was very very hard to say good bye at the end!
My managers were very supported. When I made it clear that I wanted to work for UBS when I got back to the states, my line manager went out of her way to help me network with managers in the states.
Sometimes I did have to find things for myself to do.
I was given the duties of other full time/permanent hires
Very informative internship
The Company
It was kinda quiet.
There were events organized but I feel like there could've been more of an effort made to engage efforts.
They really gave me free rein of the place. I could sign up for any classes I want (both externally and internally) and they made sure that I was always learning.
Company Parties/Events
Think this rating says it all. Got a Job. BOOM!
The Culture
We had a huge group that frequently went out.
Typical London
Lots of bars around broad gate...great for going out after work.
There were lots of opportunities.
