Pros

It was a good experience. Everyone had relatively high salaries for the type of work they seemed to be doing.

Cons

Low morale and a quiet work environment without much collaboration made getting through the day a chore. People didnt seem to move very fluidly from position to position like the rest of the industry.

UBS - Proceed with Caution

Pros

Global brand name recognition; competitive benefits package, including tuition reimbursement. Robust training and development area encourages professional and personal development.

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic. Senior management is the hegemony and promotes people who: a) strictly manage up; b) are cut-throat in their work approach; and c) cater to the whims of anyone with a Managing Director title or higher. Performance is based not on merit but on relationships with senior management.

Pros

The bank is very good at allowing people to make lateral moves in order to get exposure to other business lines.

Cons

The bank treats employees like a number and not like a person. Management constantly changes their mind on how to run the business. The bank doesn't pay based on performance. If your group had a great year, but management doesn't want to grow your business they will underpay and hope you leave.
