Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a four day virtual program that took us through the different business divisions at UBS.
On a day-to-day basis, we participated in a variety of sessions that involved current professionals at UBS explaining their particular business division to us, and we were allowed to ask questions at the end of the session. Each session was typically about an hour long.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was extremely insightful. The speakers were clear and concise, and often backed up their explanations with visual representations and aids. We were also allowed time to ask questions after their talk, which further clarified any misconceptions that we might have.

I learnt a lot more about UBS as a bank, and how the different banking subdivisions work together.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It was wonderful. UBS is known to have a coffee chat culture, where employees often reach out to others for a chat over coffee. This promotes their flat organisational structure and makes the environment extremely supportive and engaging.
