Pros

--Good co-workers. --Financial Advisors are nice and respectable. They treat you with respect, no fetching coffee or lunches. They teach as much as they can, given the time limit. --Good hours

Cons

--Not enough feedback on the work done. --Not too many opportunities for learning about Wealth Management. --All the permanent employees had an attitude that you were just an intern and that you would leave at the end of the summer, so they don't teach you much. --No sort of compensation. --No social events to get to know the other interns. Orientation was during the end of June, halfway through the internship. --Financial Advisors that you work for do a good job with the interns, but Main Management needs to do do more (I would actually say a lot more, because when I was there they did pretty much nothing to engage the interns).

Pros

One of the biggest pros is brand value and global credibility. UBS is a top-tier global wealth management and investment bank, so having it on your resume immediately signals experience in a highly structured, regulated, and performance-driven environment. That tends to carry weight across financial services and corporate TA roles. Another major advantage is strong learning exposure. Because UBS operates across wealth management, investment banking, asset management, and corporate functions, employees usually get exposure to complex stakeholder groups, senior leadership, and high-volume, high-stakes hiring environments. For recruiting roles specifically, that often means experience with executive searches, niche skill sets, and global requisitions.

Cons

other factor is workload during restructuring cycles or market downturns. Financial services recruiting is highly market-sensitive, so hiring freezes or sudden ramps are common. That can create uncertainty or shifting priorities in requisition ownership and pipeline planning. From a career perspective, role specialization can sometimes feel narrow. While UBS is large, some employees find they become highly specialized in one function (like wealth management or a specific region), which may require intentional effort to broaden experience.
