Business Outlook

Pros

Very relaxed with great work life balance. Average salary. Very good people where everyone tries to help each other. Many indirect benefits (although consistently being reduced) One of the best pension plans around.

Cons

Pay rises are rare. Bonus is not performance linked but pool based and dependent on department heads decision. Technology is old but some attempts are being made to improve Poor developer hardware with one low quality monitor an enforced standard. Development tooling is unstable. Passive management avoids making decisions and refers to others. Large turnover of staff resulting in large loss of knowledge.

Business Outlook

Pros

The brand name of UBS will carry you far (it has a pretty solid reputation outside of work)

Cons

Bad compensation compared to other banks for entry level wealth management positions. Basically no training. Was supposed to receive two weeks training and didn't. Management is non-existent and don't care about development of young talent. Nobody cares about the company internally.
