Pros

great work/life balance, elaborate Christmas parties

Cons

Billion dollar profits each year, but no vision (medical benefit) & 1% raises if they have a good year (if they have a bad year, like this year, we can probably anticipate no bonus and no raise). Pay scale is horrible compared to other companies. They take advantage of good employees who have been with the company for a long time. No incentive programs. They make home office employees pay for parking each month ($40/month).

A nice place to work -- but there are opportunities for improvement.

Pros

It's a positive place to work with a healthy work-life balance. People do strive to do their best there, and if you show initiative, it will be rewarded with advancement and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Cons

At the moment, the company is going to a bit of a reputational crisis. Having to explain that it's not an "evil" company gets a little old. Also, there's a lot of tension between different departments. The banking side of things looks down on the rest of the company, and by and large no one respects HR.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to learn all of the banking products. Movability is encouraged. Always get feedback from management, and you are encouraged to be proactive and take charge. Work/Life balance is defintely a plus at UBS. Great way to work in a truely global Investment Bank, be able to attend meetings and conference call throught out the world. Everyone treats you equally, and the managers are willing to help to enhance your skills.

Cons

The commute is just grueling if you live in NY. The company has too many systems after all the acquistions, that it really becomes hard to navigate through all the systems to find what you need.
