Pros

Great teams all working together globally to deliver the best possible solutions for internal and external clients. Some great products and applications and staff which should put UBS at the forefront of clients minds.

Cons

Obviously all the recent problems have not helped with staff morale over the last 12 months. All the changes within management have also not helped. Employees do not know who they are working for and who is reviewing their performance.

Pros

My review of this firm has to be viewed in the context of the current economic times. I found my time at UBS to be an extremely productive and learning experience. I was treated with respect by my peers and was given the tools and the opportunity to succeed in a variety of projects. The people that I worked with are very real and not analogous with most stories you hear from the financial sector. While the firm has had to severely downsize over the last 18 months like many other firms in the financial sector again I feel like was treated with respect and dignity through that most unpleasant of processes. Many good people remain at the firm and I would return if given the opportunity once the firm stabilizes.

Cons

The firm is extremely bureaucratic and its processes completely tied up in red tape. Much of this bureaucracy revolved around risk and compliance. Often in my opinion at the expense of being able to conduct business. Also, when you keep in mind that this bureaucracy did not prevent the firm from adversely exposing itself to the recent turmoil in the financial sector and market forces.

Pros

It's a terrific global firm with lots of good opportunity if the financial sector can break out of the fnk it's in and if senior management can solve the problems of working under the pressures of losing billions of dollars every year. Until then, it's really yet to be seen.

Cons

Overall financial sector is in turmoil.
