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.

Pros

Excellent corporate culture. Looks after it's employees well and pays adequately. Work / life balance couldn't be better. Possitive attitude towards learning and professional development.

Cons

Got greedy of other more risk-seeking investment banks and leaned to far out of the window in the process. Now needs to re-build the trust in the market place that UBS is still a safe haven in a chaotic world. That will take time and until then success will be limited.

Pros

A good place to start a career. A good place to learn and advance you skills.Good talented people to work with. Good employee benefits. Though most benefits are reserve for managment

Cons

Incompetent middle management. Promotions are given to people who rarely work hard to deserve those promotions. Managment promotes a culture of flattery and a** kissing to recommend staff for promotion. Its mostly about "Who you know " than "How well you perform". No transparent promotion criteria. Favoritisn is rife. Certain employees are "Picked" for higher management roles using a discrimanatory no transparent "Ascent Program" to promote choosen ones.
