Overview
Each day typically consisted of a focus on one or two business areas to learn about via panels and networking sessions. There were also some more interactive sessions where some employees or guests would come in and give insight into their business area through some demonstration. There would also be some sessions to tell us about UBS itself such as tours or quizzes.
Skills
Yes I feel like I’ve learn how to network as I hadn’t done that before, and how to foster professional relationships. I also feel like I’ve developed better analytical skills through having to decide what business area is better for me because I had to infer what skills may be better suited for certain areas.
Business Insight
At first it was quite overwhelming because there’s so much new information but as each role/business was explained it was really engaging and interesting. the explanations where comprehensive and detailed and most of my questions were answered to a high enough degree to give me adequate information about each role.
Culture
This was arguably the most positive aspect about UBS. Everyone seemed very friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy working at UBS. All speakers were happy to answer questions and this created the atmosphere that they really do want new people to join. So it was really welcoming and a generally happy environment despite most employees really having to commit to their job to the detriment of their work-life balance.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it to a large degree, I learnt a lot about the financial sector and each individual group. Most speakers were engaging and enthusiastic. I also really enjoyed being able to share this experience with many other students because it was nice seeing their perspectives change on certain business areas too.
Yes
I would advise them to try their best in gaining a spot into their insight programme because it really did help me better understand what I may go into in the future. I would also advise them to be excited and come in with an open mind because it is likely your preferred business area will change .
