If in Wealth Management, like most firms, the quality of your experience depends on your sales figures.

Pros

Large product line to use when solving client needs; investment/lending/planning. The company has a long history in banking.

Cons

The technology platform can tend to be slow & buggy sometimes, which hinders productivity. Some negative press the last few years affecting the formerly sterling reputation; rogue trader, credit meltdown, etc. But you could probably say much of the same for all the large financial institutions.

Pros

- The firm is clearly taking the right steps to reposition itself as a premier global wealth/asset manager - Unwinding capital intensive positions in the Investment Bank is of utmost importance - Streamlining of middle and back office support is key to lower expenses - Good people, although the firm should take advantage of the buyers market in terms of talent and acquire leading people via competitive compensation.

Cons

- Huge, bureaucratic institution - Everything passes through Switzerland - Slow moving, reactionary
