A significant amount, I was not treated as an intern but as a team member. The team are very flexible, if I ever felt anything was too much I know they would help me with the project or take some of the pressure off, if I wanted more they would give me more.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was never a lack of support, but equally I was not treated as if I was not as capable as someone who has experience. They would guide me on how to do something with advice and if I needed further guidance the teams would never hesitate to help.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Culture and atmosphere was nothing short of what I expected from UBS. Inclusive, collaborative, everyone treated equally. There is a common understanding that no matter what level you are at you never stop learning and we can all learn from each other. UBS pride themselves on their culture and they should as I can not fault it.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend UBS to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to UBS
Be yourself. I was 100% myself in my interviews and true to my experiences, strengths and weaknesses. At no point have I ever felt that my experience has not been good enough or my degree is not good enough. Show personality, enthusiasm and work ethic, I believe that is what landed me the internship.
