Good look at WM industry...depends on the office you are working in

Business Outlook

Pros

Interning at UBS is a great opportunity to see how a top tier financial firm operates. If you work in the right WM group, you will learn a lot about the business.

Cons

Experience completely depends on the office you are assigned to work with. You could get stuck with a jerk boss who makes you cold call from 9 to 5 (or even longer). Or you can have a great office to work in where you will actually do some finance stuff and learn.
