Pros

Coworkers are great, decent benefits, good amount of vacation time

Cons

You're made to feel like you're a lemming. You're reviewed based on stats and numbers, not quality. There's no humanity when it comes to work-life balance. Not to mention, in the interview process they pride themselves on supporting personal growth and development, but in reality they make it nearly impossible for you to move up - or out - or achieve anything. There's no incentive to work hard, as it will get you nowhere but taken advantage of.

Pros

My boss is great. Some of my co-workers are great.

Cons

Overall, too WMA focused. God help you if you need HR assistance, all self service and no one has a clue. Very little chance of advancement unless you are one of chosen few. A heartless organization.

Can Be a Great or Horrible Experience

Pros

Progressive approach to infrastructure and software. Many companies are stuck in the past, keeping old systems alive even though they are outdated and problematic. UBS is at least trying to remain current. Or they were when last I was there.

Cons

Some amazingly bad middle managers with no regard for employees personal lives. If you get one of them expect to work until at least 7PM every day as well as be on call 24/7. Telecommuting is up to the individual managers are an all to great percentage of them are iron-fisted micro-managers so they do not allow it at all. Their approach to systems and software is at odds with their approach to people. I would not work there again.
