Pros

UBS is THE premiere wealth management shop on the street. It brings a good brand name and pedigree when marketing for clients. With the amalgamtion of so many prestigeous names, Dillon read, warburg, paine webber, O'Connor you have a wide range of experiences and expertises to cull from for when pitching business to clients. The Global asset management arm i think is second to noe, at least among tied Asset Managers. The compensation is also pretty much on par

Cons

The swiss are very risk averse, so you might not get much IPOs if thats your bag. Paine Webber systems are pretty much archaic. too many bolt on applications. Need some more robust.

Pros

global platform, very idea driven. communication within divisions can be very good; many participants allows for tremendous idea flow. it is clear that employees are committed to the business, the industry, and most importantly the clients.

Cons

swiss government and swiss people have made a bad situation worse with no visibility for future. mgt allowed a once proud franchise to implode. ceo gruebel is a known quantity for reorganizing financial services firms and thankfully he apparently has relationships with swiss regulators. perhaps he can create a more positive environment for all constituents to work together for a common goal.

Pros

UBS is a great company that is very committed to its employees. The culture is very unlike many of the other financial services companies in the UK. It offers great opportunities for personal and career growth.

Cons

Some of the downsides relate to mid-level management. My requests for time off were consistently postponed and rejected. However, this related more to my personal manager and may not be reflective of the company as a whole.
