Pros

- work-life balance depends on a team, can be pretty good. - famous name on your CV. - internal career change possibilities.

Cons

- salaries could be higher—while UBS pays more than its peers like State Street, BNY Mellon, Euroclear, the pay still falls short of many other firms in this industry. - extremely slow rate of promotions—you see people that do as much work as a whole team could and sitting in the same position for 4-5 (sometimes more) years. It's unclear how the promotions are given, as there are no guidelines at all, and most of the time it just feels like luck. - the Citrix cloud system works extremely badly. UBS refuses to give work laptops to their employees and instead opts for a cloud workspace, which just works badly—not a day passes without you hearing that someone can't log in, faces slowness, or just has some issues with the system, which affects work. - constant feeling that the company is trying to save as much money on you as possible. From quite substantial factors mentioned before (like low salaries, no personal laptops, and a slow rate of promotions) to small things that add up to all of this—fruits in the office only 3 days a week (and the amount is laughable; it's not nearly enough for all); no basic office utensils you might need (only some low-quality pens); no office amenities despite requiring employees to work at least 3 days from the office.
