Pros

1. Great learning opportunities - UBS is an ocean when it comes to financial services. One has opportunies to work in asset management, wealth management, investment banking, corporate advisory, equity research, etc. 2. Diverse culture - the people at UBS are from all over the world, giving you insights into the various cultures and encouraging you to relocate to different parts of the world, expanding your horizons.

Cons

1. Poor recognition from senior management - this is a recent phenomenon, probably linked to change in cluture at UBS of getting quick wins than establishing long-term productivity 2. Poor work-life balance - again something recent. More stress on what we can do for UBS than the other way around.

Pros

Reasonable pay, generous benefit, days off

Cons

future uncertain with 2008 big write-down "Not only is UBS guilty of committing a flagrant breach of trust between the bank and its customers, its top executives jumped ship as soon the securities market started to collapse, leaving thousands of customers holding the bag," said Cuomo, who wants the company to buy back the auction-rate securities from customers at par. UBS said it plans a vigorous defense of the charges, which were filed in state Supreme Court in New York.
