UBS provides strong early-career access through multiple structured routes, including an 18–24-month Graduate Talent Program, summer internships, off-cycle internships, and Swiss apprenticeships. UBS sets clear expectations on stages and assessments, but UBS also states the company cannot provide detailed feedback after rejections, which limits transparency for first-time applicants. Early-career outcomes look positive in pathway design and cohort scale, but publicly available conversion, retention, and promotion metrics are limited and the wider post-acquisition restructuring environment adds uncertainty in some teams.
