Corporate Managment is a Challenge in WMA

Pros

There are some nice, talented people to work with in technology in UBS Wealth Management Americas. Financial Advisers and their staffs are very professional, interesting and successful.

Cons

Horrible communication in technology. Treated employees horribly from a corporate / management communication standpoint. Everything in technology is underfunded and behind the curve for competing with other companies in this category. As with many large companies, management changes periodically (6 months, 1 year, 18 months, no longer than 2 years) so long term strategy and maintaining consistent resources is close to impossible. Contracted large technology firms is strategic at the management level but disastrous at the implementation level, especially technology development resources. Plans have been to move technology out of the NYC area to other locations for cost savings. Salaries are undercut at every opportunity.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent balance between environment, work/life balance and compensation. Open and relaxed culture.

Cons

Lack of career development options (unless you engage in office politics). Long term prospects for IT are unclear. The management actively tries to dismantle many of the things that currently retain the better personnel.
