Pros

Great people, but lack a general level of education. Employees have very good people skills, but lack in competence and logic.

Cons

Hard to get promoted or move positions, very political and all about who you brown nose to get promotions. The wrong people often get promoted.

Pros

Comp -- was fair Commute -- was great Work -- was easy

Cons

The work wasn't challenging. Even when I asked for more or more challenging work, none was given. Reviews were a joke -- one year would completely contradict the next. Simply put, UBS can't get its act together. It likes to think it is a big player in investment banking and compares itself to the Goldmans and Morgan Stanleys of the world. It will never be more than a penny-ante player.

Pros

UBS is a truly global company full of talented and hardworking people (many of whom came from consulting). The brand is the company's best asset.

Cons

Because the company has grown as a result of mergers and acquisitions, the various "pieces" have never been fully integrated together and still operate independently. Mass layoffs and low pay has led to an exodus of talent.
