4. How valued do you feel by UBS?

Upon completing projects or work from various people, as long as you've completed it to the best of your ability and with high quality- you're made to feel very special! People really do understand that you're new and need contact re-assurance and praise to keep you motivated.

10/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The induction period was 6 weeks. You learn a lot during that time. It prepares you for your actual on desk job and role. By then, you also know everyone in your intake and it just seems less scary.

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

BPP are decent at reminding us about webinars or study days. You get assigned an Apprentice manager that helps you during your Apprenticeship which I think is quite helpful. They are kind of like yours and your managers 'go to' person.

7/10

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Support at UBS is excellent. Everyone here is well established and successful so you feel comfortable asking them questions about anything- on desk work or even exams. Loads of tips and advice come your way!

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

I live at home so my salary does me very well. The benefits package is excellent! On top of that, working at UBS gets you a lot of perks that you wouldn't get at other companies e.g. discounts/car insurance.

10/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

I have participated in 2 volunteering activities and have thoroughly enjoyed it. You really do feel like you're making a difference- that's how well organized everything is. I hear there are also language classes which I definitely need to get involved in!

10/10

9. Would you recommend UBS to a friend?

The status of UBS is enough for anyone to want to apply. However, the people here are what make working worth it. The support and motivation is immense and you feel like you're working with like minded people. The building is excellent too!

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to UBS?

Make sure you know your stuff about the company and about current and market affairs. Other than that, be confident, smile and don't be afraid to be yourself.
