Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at UBS?
There are great learning and growth opportunities offered by the graduate scheme - allowing graduates to rotate in 3 different teams across the 2 years. The people and culture at UBS are amazing, as everyone is so nice and keen to share their experiences with you.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
The role involves developing code for their platforms - building new functionalities and maintaining the existing stack. The part I enjoy most is the problem-solving aspect of the role, which comes with debugging issues that arise and finding the best solution for them.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
3/5
This is really dependent on the team, but I generally feel that most graduates are given the opportunity to do meaningful work. However, there have been instances where I've not had any meaningful, interesting work for some extended period because the team was too busy to find suitable tasks for me.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
4/5
Compensation is fairly good, especially for a fresh grad.
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
4/5
I think the opportunity to rotate in different teams as part of the graduate scheme is a really valuable experience in my career development - widens my horizons and allows me to discover my interests.
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
3/5
Again, this is rather team-dependent. Personally felt that my role in my first team was stagnating towards the end of my first year - wasn't given bigger tasks with more responsibilities and ended up working on rather monotonous tasks. However, rotating into a different team has changed that and I feel that I'm learning and growing everyday with new challenges.
