Pros

The company has many females leaders to look up to. Culture is extremely inclusive and welcoming. Internal politics is to the minimal. The leaders are very understanding and always welcome suggestions from every level of employees. In a nutshell, it's a company where you feel valued as an employee.

Cons

Work load gets a lot due to compliance activities. Office visits are mandatory 3 days a week.

Average, old-style, ultra-boring, toxic at times

Business Outlook

Pros

Status of being an UBS guy - wow! (Not always positive) Salary is decent for Zurich, but that's all the benefits. Expect an average year-end review with an average bonus, even if you do your best. Oh I was forgetting: you can compensate your emptiness leasing a luxury car with an 18% discount - not bad.

Cons

Do not expect a "good morning" when you enter the office - everybody is in pointless calls almost all day, or simply not making eye contact. There nothing nice about an administrative/bureaucratic "IT Project Manager" (read: IT business analyst) job. Burnouts and especially bored-outs are an issue. There are people doing the least possible, while a few practically live in the office detaining a big tranche of the department knowledge - great when you are a newcomer -.-
