Pros

Good corporate environment with plenty of feedback. Hours suck but the culture maintains a positive outlook. UBS, though going through tough times right now, is well positioned to succeed in the long term. They are committed to keeping the three pronged system together. Thus, they don't have the liquidity problems of a Bear or a Lehman. I am satisfied.

Cons

Long hours. Very long (90-130 hrs/week). No joke. I thought the senior bankers embellished the hours, but I was wrong. The work is tedious and never ending, and personal relationships suffer, but the long term benefit far outways the cost.

Pros

UBS has provided me with great opportunity to be successful. My contributions have been consistently rewarded and the company is committed to improving its technology to be a market leader. I enjoy working in an environment where the commitment to business strategy is shared by so many. Also, I am proud of the work we are doing and believe in the firm's strategy.

Cons

Any time you work in an organization as large as this one, there is heavy politics that get in the way of doing the right thing for the business. It can be tiresome to fight through that. Also, things take more time than they do in smaller companies because of all the red tape.
