    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It was a unique experience, which involved activites that I had not done before.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was treated very well by my colleagues, and made lasting friendships with people around me.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I was given most the help I needed by my line manager and other colleagues.

    4/5

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I took part in 5 projects, and saw 4 of them to the finish. In terms of responsibility I believe I was given a fair amount of work and responsibility as I was involved in risk related projects which are given huge emphasis.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have gained during this internship will be greatly useful to me, as along with the technical skills, I've also gained competency skills etc.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I was in a fairly relaxed office, and at times it may have been dull, but mostly it was intriguing to see a corporate work environment.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The first few weeks were fairly slow due to joiner requests being handled slowly, but it did speed up towards the end, and with networking events, it turned out to be a fairly well organised internship.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I believe I was given great attention to when it came to training and development. My colleagues and my lm explained a vast number of concepts to me.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would be looking forwards to acquiring a grad role in UBS.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The interaction between interns was great. We had a number of opportunities to get together and spend time.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • In terms of cost, the area I worked in had a street food market which reduced it drastically. Socialising wasn't a huge problem as the venues in the area weren't high priced.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I'm sure it's very active, but I wasn't particularly interested in that side of the area.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There were a number of activities I took part in with colleagues from UBS outside work. It's not difficult to create opportunities when working a 9-5pm shift.
