Pros

Great work environment. Co-workers the best in any industry or job you could ask for. Bosses really understanding for needs of time off.

Cons

Upper management seems to care little for the small frys and the pay isn't the greatest in the industry by a long shot.

Pros

Good support from other product areas; good breadth of financial products and research available; strong associate development; good training programs.

Cons

Political, make connections with strong players within your department, business and group early on; face time is very important, and detracts from doing your job.

One of the few firms supporting some level of work-life balance within IB; atmosphere is very collegial and collaborative; reputation is on the rise in the US; global reputation is one of the top 3; tremendous brand equity; in the middle of a massive restructuring plan

Cons

UBS was probably the hardest hit bank by the financial crisis; return to profitability has taken a long time; UBS ranks toward the bottom of the top ten in IB within the US
