Excellent work/life balance at the cost of compensation.

Pros

Work Life balance is excellent at UBS. Management is very considerate of your needs and knows allows time off from work if you need it. Wealth management division is laid back and there is not much pressure. The company also tries to really make its employees happy and everyone at the firm is extremely helpful and friendly.

Cons

My compensation seems a little lower then the industry. Technology being used here is outdated and we are forced to learn legacy languages in order to provide support. Poor choices by one of the firm's business groups drastically affects other business groups too. Performance reviews are very subjective given the high emphasis placed on them. It varies significantly from manager to manager.

Fighting back but at cost of the talent that attracted me here

Business Outlook

Pros

Despite hard times company still has power. Good people here and good technology being used. When I first started here in 2000 the quality of the people here was almost awe inspiring. I learned a lot and we embraced new technologies that would provide benefit to the compny. Over the years consolidation and controls are coming into place, but UBS is very big and there are many cultural boundaries to overcome in order to set business processes that work across the entire organization. It is a company that benefits on the surface for being many companies wrapped into one, but with shared infrastructure needs and pressure to run as lean as possible UBS is losing its soul: its people.

Cons

Everything decentralized. Lack of standards. Hard times see cuts. Migration of IT work offshore. UBS is going the same way as other large companies: what can we send offshore? In terms of front office support there is little change, but for back office and infrastructure IT outsourcing is the force removing stairs behind the employee as they climb this corporate ladder. If you want any kind of job security or want to continue the type of work you do in this organization for a long time, be prepared to continuously look for work internally or give up the line of work for other types.

Software Engineer having to use crap technologies and seeing friends and management laid off left and right

Business Outlook

Pros

Its better than unemployment, learn about the financial industry, and because people are laid off like crazy (5,000+ in the last year, including my boss's boss's boss), there is room for growth, if you don't get laid off.

Cons

Hours (70-80 hr shifts in the SUMMER- 8pm status meetings, working weekends, being called at 3am or so), Money stinks for your hours, incompetent management, terrible benefits, no job security at all, technology is antiquated (my group wanted to convert Java code to COBOL!!!), afraid to take risks with "new" (meaning technology 5 years old.. they are just barely using JSTL!) technology, people are rude, work to save themselves, not the company.. just a miserable place to work, raises/promotions are based on a rediculous system
