I was in 2 roles:
Cloud Engineering - Mainly involved infrastructure as code, enjoyed learning this since its was not taught in university.

Recommendations & Advice

Yes
Why?
I think its a great place to learn, but to be able to do that, you do need to actively look for opportunities that will shape the direction you want to go in.
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
4/5
Not my first role (cloud engineering), but my second role in quant development did. But like I mentioned in my previous answer, I did have to actively seek out this opportunity
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to UBS?
Values of UBS are very important when going through the interview process so try to think of how you align with them
