UBS stay away for now!

Accounting manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work environment is good, people I interact with are very nice, down to earth and easy to communicate with. This includes co-workers as well as the business area I support.

Cons

UBS has been in the news lately and it hasn't been good news. There are a lot of changes, layoffs and management changes are happen almost regularly. Not the best place to work at this time. Due to cost savings initiatives, I feel like we are being nickel and dimed everywhere (cafeteria, ferry service in 2009, fitness facilities even ATM machines that were free). I feel communications is poor on a local level as well as higher firmwide level. Too to much politics.

UBS - Potentially Great, but needs more "Us" and less "You" within the organization.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The firm has a broad global reach with market-leading capabilities in almost all markets. If the firm's current restructuring efforts are effective in integrating all the disparate areas into One Firm, it will eventually provide a phenomenal platform within which to build a global career.

Cons

The One Firm integration has not yet been executed effectively, resulting in disparate appetities for and analysis of risk and innovation in different areas of the firm, creating frustration for many, and stimying some excellent business efforts while allowing other, less appropriate efforts to barrel forward unchecked (a la subprime). The difficulty of finding the "experts" in each area and the lack of a real, centralized knowledge base also makes it difficult to navigate beyond your area. However, these things are in development.
