    4/5

    • Got a strong impression of the value the company put in the interns.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Good guidance for led tasks, shadowing was invaluable in this regard.

    5/5

    • Useful introduction to investment banking that will be useful for future applications. Skills were not relevant to degree but will be useful beyond that.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured, clearly planned and thought out which meant you were never waiting around.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Positive and friendly atmosphere overall, although some speakers were quite dry.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Spent a large amount of resources setting up opportunities to talk to professionals at the company and get a first hand look around the various divisions.

    5/5
  • 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?

    • Speaking with recent graduates was very useful, particularly with the shadowing. Also being able to talk with the 'rising stars' in the company gave a useful insight into their roles across several different areas.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Company culture came through in almost every aspect of the program, particularly when employees decided why they chose to work at UBS rather than elsewhere.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • The content was useful for giving a broad overview of the bank and its overall strategy but apart from the shadowing opportunity there were some areas which lacked in detail to really help decide on a clear career path.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Program was not paid and I did not meet conditions for expenses coverage (living outside M25)

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Lots of opportunities including graduate lunches, shadowing and Q&A sessions.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • The networking was very good, but the only social event, bowling, took too long to get started up.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Got talked to about equal opportunities programs, volunteering and support programs run by the company, but very little in the way of traditional "extra-curricular" activities such as mentions of team-building days, sports etc.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Very high quality program with the opportunity to progress onto a summer program means it is not to be missed.

    5/5
