Pros

Good pay, good benefits, generally friendly coworkers.

Cons

Bad management. I was interviewed for a job on a specific team and then when I started I discovered I had been moved to a different team who did completely different work, I would never have accepted the job on that team, it is much worse than the role I quit to join UBS from. I have been offered no explanation as to the move and no alternative to the job I have been forced into. I will quit before my probation is up to avoid the long notice period.

Pros

Great benefits for STD, HR had a really good team of people.

Cons

Don't expect a raise, was there for almost 3 years and never received a raise. They will use the excuse that you were hired to recently, or since you changed roles. Burn out

Pros

UBS PWM is a great place to be. The people are professional, personable, and enjoy their work environment. There is a reason why you see admin/operations staff that have been there for 20 plus years. The company gives people ability to be flexible in their careers and allows for tons of growth. They see great talent and go the distance to retain it.

Cons

Technology at UBS is highly limited Back office is awful - very often you end up having to call several times to get the correct answer
