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.

Pros

Decent pay and corporate culture. Benefits are very good. Most managers are very helpful and terrific to their employees while other lack vision and purpose.

Cons

Some longtime folks are negative and resistant to change and some managers allow employees to produce a poor work product.
