      UBS

      Operations associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Obtain good experience working in the financial industry from a company that is very well known. Ability to work from home if need to and company has very good benefits.

      Cons

      Salary and communication between management is terrible. Company is very secretive with openings, they annouce a new position but with someone already hired in it.

      Faltering US Venue Leaves Doubts Going Forward

      Research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay and benefits are in-line with other major I-Banks, if not toward the top. UBS is trying to rival Goldman Sachs in the research department lately with their "focus" lists and the added amount of coverage the sales team is trying pushing for. This is a plus for those wanted to gain some exposure as a Financial Analyst because there has been a bit of shuffling around, leaving open a multitude of opportunities with a seemingly popular field within the company. As far as segments go within the bank, Research is the most heralded (outside of global banking) and worth the edge over comparable banks.

      Cons

      There seems to be a "stuffy" attitude about the bank, which might possibly be passed on down from their European heritage and simultaneous pride. Such pride may also cloud judgment and proper assessment when needed. Take for instance the recent slide in credit exposures. During the summer of 2007, even upper level management truly believed UBS was on the right side of the market and that the company had little to no exposure to any such risky assets and/or credit. Nearly 40 billion in write-downs later, some members of management are wishing they hadn't spent their bonuses on "cheap" stock throughout the summer. This sort of blindness within the company, in addition to lethargic moves to remain competitive, provide ample reason to become skidding about the company and its direction going forward.

      Good Company

      Operation specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My area is great. It seems that from department to department things change a lot. My senior managers are very knowledgably and my line manager is just a great leader. Gay people enjoy the same health benefits for their partners as married people do which make me very proud of working in a place as open. Educational and overseas job opportunities are broad.

      Cons

      well the swiss run the shop
