      Can be a good place to work, but it really depends on the area.

      Pros

      Good work/life balance for the most part. If you're prepared to stick your neck out then you have got the opportunity to work on some interesting projects, but you really have to be a self starter.

      Cons

      Management is quite weak across the board. Tough decisions are usually avoided where ever possible. Political correctness and mind games are rife and an the bank shows a complete inability to sack useless people really who drain the energy and morale of all around them.

      Pros

      It's a good place to get the experience of how a large company works. The standards are quite high, and it's professional. Deadlines are met, and in my experience most people had a genuine interest in performing their jobs with competence. They're also fairly diverse gener and ethnicity wise. Many MBA types will thrive here. The building is terrific and has on-site cafe (Chicago One north wacker location.)

      Cons

      LIttle room for personality, grinding bureaucracy. Getting anything done requires lots of consensus and leaping through multiple hoops. For these reasons, dealing with IT problems is a nightmare. Working hourse, while not short, aren't unreasonable for the industry. Many surbaban types, which can add to the boring feel.

      My experience at UBS

      Pros

      The financial industry is an amazing field to be in, and being at UBS is amazing. There really is a huge influence by this company.

      Cons

      Its tremendous. You are a little fish in an ocean. In certain business areas, you feel like your work is unappreciated, or not effecting the client - but it is, even if you are supporting the back-end of the business.
