We registered every day and then I took part and watched numerous workshops and seminars presented by UBS employees on the firm's culture, different divisions, employee networks, recruitment process and case studies. Also took part in networking events with employees and fellow insight participants and took part in activities to learn more about financial markets.
Each day we attended various talks from a businessperson from each division of the bank, covering Global Banking, Global Markets, IBCOO, Asset Management, Wealth Management, Group Functions and Group Operations over the 5 days.
The program kicks off at noon with a registration, after that we would jump in to our first session, which could be an overview of a specific division (Global Banking/Markets etc), with a Case Study hosted by the panel. After this, we would typically have a more sessions throughout the day from a vast range of speakers, with the opportunity to have all of our burning questions answered at the end of each session.
