UBS offers very good medical benefits and maternity leave also unlimited sick days.

Pros

Management is proactive in communicating changes to staff and is accessible to discuss current events and how they may impact employees.

Cons

Constant Change in strategy and execution makes it difficult to complete projects as originally intended. There are too many people doing similar things as each other, so there are often "too many chefs in the kitchen".

UBS has a great culture for an IB

Associate director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is unique among IBs in that it is seems to view the employee as a person than as a headcount. HR policies are considerate towards making things convenient for the employee. Has a collaborative culture and fellow colleagues are more open to sharing information and brainstorming even across different groups in the company. The firm is also a nice addition to a resume and is a respected name in finance.

Cons

Seems to underpay market. Also, the company sometimes loses deals to white shoe IBs like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley because they are more established in IB and have a better perception of being committed to IB.
