Pros

UBS has a great network. It's all what you make of it. Culturally, the people are great. Overall people are motivated and team-oriented. Essentially, the people. Also, work life balance: roughly 24 vacation days + carry overs and personal days. Not crazy hours depending on what part of the bank you work in.

Cons

Budget cuts. Upward mobility for more junior employees. I think many people get frustrated as the firm seems to be penny wise....

Pros

Great co-workers, relaxed environment, decent pay. Hard workers are often recognized by directors and senior management directly.

Cons

Terrible management decisions regarding workforce. The idea that every process can eventually be automated or offshored is pervasive to the point of understaffing. Which in turn leads to excessive (60+) hours being worked by the more time-intensive groups.

Pros

People at UBS are very friendly. They have a great support team to call with any question you may have.

Cons

The technology at UBS is sub par. The systems are not reliable. At least a couple of times a week we have issues. Also, the back office associates that are not client facing can be slow at completing important requests
