Pros

When you find one...let me know! They have a nice child care facility across the street.

Cons

The management is totally incompetent. I have never worked for an organization that has so much fat at the top that adds no value what-so-ever. Perhaps this is why the Bank lost $40B and counting..... UBS takes the term "Good Ole Boys" to a new level. If you are not part of the Sr Management dont plan on making any money, getting promoted, or enjoying any time off. You will be however asked to work endless hours wtih promises of recognition once things "get better". Talent is definately not managed from with in. I have seen many new layers of mamagement brought in from the outside, with little value added, while the same worker bees do all the work.

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.
