Compliance Officer Review

I have no day-to-day responsibilities. On a day-to-day basis I am working on longer term projects which involves speaking to other areas of the business, data work, creating presentation decks, etc.

I have developed my excel skills a lot since I joined. When starting I had no experience with excel, but due to my role and exposure to the app I have made serious progress in this area of my work. What you improve on, depends on the nature of you work.

I really enjoy the programme. My line manger and apprenticeship mentor are constantly checking in with me to make sure I have everything I need to complete my work and help me if I feel there are gaps.

The programme is well structured. We have one day off from work to complete our University modules which usually last 8-10 weeks each.

I receive help when I ask or need help from employer - my line manager and apprenticeship team at UBS are always willing to help where they can.

I receive a lot of help from my tutors and apprenticeship mentor at the University. They are constantly checking in and can provide 1-2-1 sessions if required.

I am always applying things I learn in lectures to my work. The overlap between the two has helped me an numerous occasions to understand the work I am doing for my employer and sometimes a head start on what I am learning with the University.

I was recently involved in a 5-a-side tournament organised by apprentices that was really enjoyable and a good way to connect with other apprentices. Also, the bank has an apprentice network that is ran by apprentices and provides opportunities to network both with other apprentices and more experienced colleagues,

Yes

I think UBS is a good place to work with an amazing family-like culture

Learn as much as you can about the business and what you can gather from the public domain as this really helps when discussing things such as recent events in interviews.
