Pros

The culture is the best of European and American business culture it seems. I feel as though the company works for me and am very happy to work for us as a result (that wasn't a typo). Management and support areas are lean, but still effective - it feels like a much smaller company in terms of the problem solving and empowered cogs that run an adroitly effective machine.

Cons

Client user interface is outdated versus competitors, but not for long. The fixed income desk is not as skilled analytically as the group at Morgan Stanley where I was for nearly ten years prior.

not great for IT jobs

Pros

Flexible work arrangement allows me to work from home a couple days per week which is really nice

Cons

UBS does not value IT staff like they used to. It was great in the beginning but over time IT became an 'expense' and has been downsized many times over the years. The bureaucracy enormous and unforgiving. Used to be a great place to advance your IT career, now all they seem to want is service providers.
