The Role
Really interesting and challenging work which I can definitely see myself being involved with in the future
Everyone made me feel welcome, keen to get you involved in activities and socialising outside as well as inside work
Excellent supervision and feedback from line managers throughout
Went through peaks and troughs but on the whole had a good amount to be getting on with for the vast majority of the time
Couldn't believe initially how much responsibility I was given. It is a great opportunity to be able to prove yourself in a sometimes pressured environment
The presentation skills in particular will help immensly for my degree, however most of all they will help me in whatever job I go into, whether that's at UBS or elsewhere
The Company
Great atmosphere, a good balance of work and play
Excellent from start to finish with plenty of intern events organised
