UBS Sr. Software Engineer reviews

UBS encourages a good work / life balance. There is no excessive bureaucracy like at some of the American banks and people just get on with their jobs. Everyone I worked with was very friendly and highly skilled. In the technology areas, their interview process is pretty tough, but if you get through it you can be sure you will be working with people who know what they are doing. Their offices are in the city instead of Canary Wharf, which means an easier commute for some.

At UBS, it's easy to be a star, because everybody around you lacks any motivation or discernible talent. You'll frequently travel to fun places like London, Zurich and Tokyo for no apparent reason. If you're fortunate enough work on a project that isn't axed due to lack of interest or boredom on the part of management, you'll have unlimited time lines to complete even the simplest of tasks, since nobody will ever pressure you to work as that may ruin your friendship and personal relationships are far more important than the success of the business.
