  • Overall an enjoyable week with a good group of highly competent people. Gave an excellent insight into the workings of an investment bank.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt like we were very much the centre of attention during the week, UBS obviously put in a lot of effort into quality catering and giving us exposure to employees in different areas. Impressive.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Gave us interview techniques and other workshops. Very well structured so no real need for the students to worry.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Again, gave a good insight into the different areas of the firm. Helped me decide what technical skills I would focus on in my final years, depending on how widely used they are.

    5/5

    5/5

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

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Employees had only good words to say about the company. At times this came across as insincere, the recent history of UBS restructuring was swept under the carpet and the rogue trader was the elephant in the room.
