Pros

The workers are friendly if you can speak German and get into a good crowd. The pay is quite good. Some of the managers are very good. Try to move to other countries whilst with UBS, it's easier to get promoted in UK and USA than in CH or Asia.

Cons

The HR recruiting department are incompetent, otherwise HR quite good. Most Swiss employees are very narrow minded and only lookout for themselves and other Swiss people. Some managers are terrible and have little management skills or courses to their name.

The FA's are great, but the internship program itself is lackluster.

Pros

The atmosphere is great; can't beat working in a skyscraper in Downtown Chicago. The people are also really quality.

Cons

The intern gatherings were mostly seminar styled gatherings, and there isn't much of an opportunity to meet more than a few interns over the course of the internship. It would be better if the interns could be gathered every once in a while for the sake of mingling.
