Pros

A good place to start a career. A good place to learn and advance you skills.Good talented people to work with. Good employee benefits. Though most benefits are reserve for managment

Cons

Incompetent middle management. Promotions are given to people who rarely work hard to deserve those promotions. Managment promotes a culture of flattery and a** kissing to recommend staff for promotion. Its mostly about "Who you know " than "How well you perform". No transparent promotion criteria. Favoritisn is rife. Certain employees are "Picked" for higher management roles using a discrimanatory no transparent "Ascent Program" to promote choosen ones.

Pros

Advancement within UBS is disproportionately reliant now on relationships, affiliation and political capital. For some that is a strong attractor. If you excel at those you will find fertile ground to use your skills.

Cons

- lack of strategy. - recurring lack of basic skills in a variety of management practices, particularly in parts of logistics. negotiating skills, organizational behavior, strategy, etc. - very insular culture. many managers appear to be threatened by well-known best practices, advanced education, external standards, etc.
