UBS reviews

- LOTS OF FALSE PROMISES!!! HR/recruitment team will promise you one thing, then upper management will tell you another once you're actually hired. DO NOT AGREE TO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU HAVE IT IN WRITING!! - lack of leadership & no structure whatsoever - micromanagement and harping on numbers even if your goal has been met /surpassed - scorecards and "open note quizzes" to score performance that isn't standardized to specific regions at all so you are constantly dinged on systems that dont even apply to your work making it impossible to look good to upper management - no new hire training, good luck with figuring out what you're doing. - constant comparison to other regions that work under completely different standards - work life balance doesnt exist, they try to sell you with the "WFH balance" but with the constant micromangement and stress from upper management, good luck enjoying life at all. - when your case work is low, management will auto assign you to help others, instead of that help reflecting on your "scorecard" it shows as if you've done nothing and reflects negatively on the false scorecard that was created to help micromanage those in this department - false promises of raises - the list goes on and on.. if you even slightly enjoy your job now or can remain unemployed, do so. this position is not worth the stress or energy **this review is strictly for the KYC Analyst role. I have no opinions on any other department involved with UBS**

Many: - Ask for a high salary when you join: the company from what I observed gives absent/low raises each year. They will promote that promotion is the way to go if you want a higher salary, where only a few internally get promoted after years and years of working. You'd better change job after a year or two, and come back after some time if you want an honest salary that stay competitive. A worker might feel over time like they are not valued/appreciated, until they might realize they might just be part of a big Swiss "Squid Game" where the main goal of the company is to make the 1% of the world richer, and it might not imply paying correctly and sustainably their employees. - The turnover is pretty high, and you might wonder when the company decides to stop hiring in Poland for a even cheaper country. - There might be a lot of directors, hierarchy, divisions changes, so you might have multiple team leader in a year - The whole security/ecosystem to log in and work is very bothersome. It looks cool at first, but you will quickly realize how annoying it is for the worker. - All the money on equipment/training is being funded/refunded over a large period of time : you buy your laptop to be able to work (no laptop provided), you get a bit of its cost back every month for over 30 months - The training provided internally is pretty bad/absent. You will probably work on topics you don't fully understand, but "that'll do" - Working at a bank implies having to do frequently a lot of security/compliance trainings that take a lot of time, energy, and focus - There is a lot of information a bit everywhere, intranet, confluence etc. When you want an answer (HR, tools, rules etc) , it can take a while to find what you need.
