Pros

Work life balance. That's the only thing I could think of!

Cons

Layoffs every quarter, they have lost their best employees, no job security, no travel and trainings. Right now there is very low morale among the employees. They are tying to move everyone to Nashville and hiring all the new positions there. Most people have got no raises from years and also bonus is as good as none. Good work is no longer valued and they are frequent management changes.

Pros

Internal mobility is one of the best reasons to come and stay at UBS. I"ve moved around quite a bit and seen my compensation grow exponentially, even through the various financial crises. I've lived in London for a couple years and have traveled to Singapore and Zurich during my time with UBS.

Cons

Swiss culture/mindset is very different than the US, as is the wealth management culture (incl. WMA) vs. the investment bank. This can be incredibly frustrating.
