UBS reviews

Long hours sometimes, but not too bad

The culture of greed and self importance, especially in the research department leads to ulcers and self loathing. In particular the Equities Research department is filled with a host of self important jerks who don't care about what anyone else has to do or say, only themselves. Supporting research analysts is one of the most thankless jobs I have ever had, and I've worked in the kitchen of a Mexican restaurant (not as a cook). I had doors slammed in my face, been yelled at because I couldn't complete a favor fast enough, and received little to no help from my direct superior in tracking down information or company policy and procedure even during my first few weeks. Working the trading floor is only slightly less pleasant, but only because traders don't have the time to be as nasty as the analysts.
