Bright people, collaborative environment, good work life balance, but...

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

In the business aligned technology groups there are a lot of really bright people working on a wide range of projects using a wide range of technologies. Within IT at least, there is excellent work life balance and a strong collaborative culture, which helps make working that bit more enjoyable.

Cons

As a bank, the IT function is huge, so you do get the feeling of being a small fish in a huge sea. Whilst communication and teamwork within the immediate group is good, it can often be hard to see the bigger picture, and cross-division collaboration can be painful. Plus given that UBS was formed through a series of mergers, there is a lot of legacy stuff lurking around.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers, confusing but powerful technology platform, great senior leadership, wonderful place to start a career if you want to break into the advisory business

Cons

there are a lot of ways this company could get things done faster, cheaper, more efficiently. When information is communicated it rarely tells the full story and is usually just broad statements leaving a lot of room for speculation.

Business Outlook

Pros

location, networking, benefits, exposure, respect, resources. picking up a lot of market share.

Cons

too many committees taking too long to make decisions results in flat-footedness. office politics. bad results in one area lead to every area's cutbacks, including compensation. too many chiefs, not enough indians!
