Not a great place

Pros

Opportunities to learn. Big bank. May be good for graduate trainees, interns.

Cons

Old fashioned, beuracratic management. No room for growth unless you are ready to feed sycophants. Skill / knowledge stands at the bottom of the rung :(

Pros

It is counted as a "bulge bracket" firm.

Cons

Even after Carsten Kengeter was kicked out after 3 years of failed leadership at the investment bank, things did not change for the better. UBS still remains below the top 10 in any league table. Morale in IB is very low as they are hiring people with guaranteed payments and basically making everyone who has been there for a while feel worthless

Good if it lasts

Pros

Lots of dedicated smart people, lots of poor upper management, revolving door up there...

Cons

Was good, made good profits for dept. and shareholders. New management cleaned house and brought in old cronies, regardless of existing people's skill sets. Those who had profited from the mismanagement were already long gone. With their bonuses.
