Pros

Good people to work with. can move to different departments (not that easy, but feasible if opportinities are there)

Cons

need to try hard to make yourself visible. Good work does not make you visible automatically.

Pros

Managers tend to be quite flexible with worklife balance, and people are genuinely friendly and face time is not a big deal here. Good brand name to work for, and plenty of opportunities to move internally.

Cons

Getting a promotion is like finding magical gold dust! You can give them blood, sweat and even tears, but at the end of the day the person who has been sat in their seat longest will be the one to get promoted, even if they are completely incapable of actually doing their job! Their is a strict hierarchy and don't expect to move between the levels in the same team. Internal training and courses are very poor, and few and far between.

Pros

UBS's company reputation and leadership position in the European market, career development and growth opportunities, competitive compensation package and benefits.

Cons

Large organization so may probably involve some red tape, recent bad press about UBS and its financial performance and how this may impact bonuses.
