Pros

UBS still pays ok salaries. Still one of the major players in the financial industry. A truely global company that gives you a lot of cultural exposure.

Cons

Reputational issues after the financial crisis. UBS was involved in all major fraud cases like LIBOR or FX manipulation and does not seem to have their operational risks under control.

Pros

UBS has a truly global organisation, which reduces internal fights and makes it easier to get new initiatives off the ground. The benefits system is good. Work-life balance is pretty reasonable for an investment bank: there is no long-hours culture for example.

Cons

UBS seems to be retreating into its shell following bad performance over the last recession. Mangement commitment to investment banking is questionable, and many business areas have been shut down or de-scoped. Staff are under continual pressure to justify their positions and re-organisations are frequent.
