    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my time here at UBS! It was a great learning curve.

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

    • A lot, I felt like my opinion was truly valued and I could bring something to the table.

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

    • They were all super helpful and patient, and made sure the work I was given was interesting.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was given the right amount of tasks so I could balance my time well.

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

    • After the first 4 weeks, I felt like my team trusted me with more tasks that went beyond an intern role which was very rewarding.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I was truly encouraged out of my comfort zone and this allowed me to develop skills that made me grow both on a personal and professional level. I now feel more confident about my future.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • It was great. Everyone is so nice and always available for a quick catch up or to assist you if you have any issue.

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

    • The communication between myself and HR has been smooth throughout, as well as my communication with my line manager (with periodical catch-ups and meetings). We get a reasonable notice for any event and this allows me to inform my manager well in advance if I'm going to be away from my desk.

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

    • I had so many sources available, from Coursera to Networks. UBS really does make sure interns get a feel of what it is like to work at UBS.

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

    • Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I think I have been able to deliver in my tasks, meeting and exceeded expectations whenever I saw the chance to do so. I get along with my team and we are able to have conversations outside of work-related topics which I really appreciate! I would love to come back, the experience has been great.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • I have been very lucky with the fellow tech interns and IPs, we bonded a lot and also met outside of work. 8 weeks later I can say they are more than colleagues, definitely friends I want to keep in touch with!

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

    • I think it reflected London prices (which sometimes can be quite expensive!)

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

    • N/A, I haven't had the chance to explore the nightlife.

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The Networks were a great way to connect with people outside of my division and get involved in activities that went beyond what I do at work.
