Pros

pay check, relaxed enviroment, Come and go when I please. I can count on my boss for extra support. If I need off, there is never a problem. I have a good time with co-workers. We go to happy hour after a long day in the office and have lots to drink. The security of the office is very good. i feel safe as there are lots of locked doors and cameras that watch are ever more. We have plenty of time away for family and friends. We can pretty much go as we please.

Cons

I'm in control on when I come and go.

Pros

Great place to work, great team, great culture. UBS has a unique atmosphere as an Investment Bank, and a culture that promotes a good work-life balance. The IT team is a valued part of the organisation, and from an IT perspective UBS promotes the use of industry best practice tools and approaches. UBS has an industry leading career development and career review process which is taken extremely seriously by management, and rewards and promotions are based on merit with a fair and transparent process to back them up.

Cons

Currently undergoing some tough times (as at June 2008), but UBS Investment Bank has good fundamentals and a strong leadership team, so the business and will definitely bounce back strongly as the market recovers.
