Anyone faced visa issues with UBS?

Has anyone else experienced difficulties with UBS because of visa-related issues? I am very frustrated with my onboarding process with UBS as they are very unhelpful when it comes to sponsorship / visa matters. Would love to hear about your experiences and any advice you might have.

They most likely just won't convert you to FT. They are known for not sponsoring, and for my internship year at UBS for what it's worth they didn't sponsor. Not sure what the case is now, but I know UBS generally doesn't sponsor. 

 

Okay, I will defer on this then since it seems everyone else is saying they sponsor. I was at the firm 2+ years ago(just never changed title), and they didn't for me thus my comment. 

 

When I interviewed with them for a summer analyst position and then for a full-time position two years ago, they were open to sponsoring. I didn't get the sense that they were not competent. I also have a few international friends there too, but it's interesting to read about them now.
