Pros

Big international corp. with a diversity of operations and activities.

Cons

Currently undergoing change, merging and rationalising core services. This is seen as justification for a big levelling exercise to downgrade staff assessments and is too cost centric. Outsourcing appears to be the primary solution without adequate balancing of the pros and cons. There is an lement of blame culture and some bullying by Teflon coated senior managers

Pros

People are very nice and helpful. Even if you're in Asia and need help in Europe for example on some random subject, an email would immediately get you the help you want even if it's for some random request.

Cons

They're way too nice and let mediocrity at times happen. Maybe that's why they're losing steam these days. Also, it can also be quite political. So yes, even though in general UBS rewards based on performance, a lot of incompetent people close to management are kept on as well even if their performance is not up to par.
