      Pros

      Great People make working and UBS great. The people are down to earth and easy to be around, yet intelligent and interesting to work with. I had many opportunities while I was there to work alongside senior management. This advanced my understanding of business in general and was a great start to my career. There is a strong open door policy at UBS and I would speak with the MD's or even the CEO on a daily basis. I felt they were concerned about me and my career advancement.

      Cons

      The type of work in general is grueling, and the facilities are old. Swiss employees strongly favored.

      UBS is a good place to work

      Pros

      The people at UBS are great to work with. Everyone is very willing to spend time with you to help you develop your knowledge or complete your work. You are given high levels of responsibility from the start and are encouraged to develop yourself. The company encourages employees to move around within the bank and does not try to limit career paths to one defined mold. The bank has a very European feel to it and, as a result, is less stressful to work at than some other companies in the financial industry.

      Cons

      Working at an investment bank in the current economy is stressful. People are worried about their jobs and seem a little on edge.

      Avoid working for their hedge fund business.

      Pros

      At UBS, it's easy to be a star, because everybody around you lacks any motivation or discernible talent. You'll frequently travel to fun places like London, Zurich and Tokyo for no apparent reason. If you're fortunate enough work on a project that isn't axed due to lack of interest or boredom on the part of management, you'll have unlimited time lines to complete even the simplest of tasks, since nobody will ever pressure you to work as that may ruin your friendship and personal relationships are far more important than the success of the business.

      Cons

      Management is totally incompetent. Compensation is very weak. Technology is a joke (even though they think they're cutting edge). Nobody cares if you make any sort of progress (education, career, otherwise). Officers (such as the COO) verbally assault entire departments and publicly make lewd jokes about individuals they don't care for. Your liberties will be infringed upon (you'll work any hours they want you to, takes calls during sick & vacation time, and rid yourself of any personal websites or blogs, it's against their policy).
