      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

      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.

      YOU AND US!

      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.
