Sinking ship? Probably not.

Pros

Some talent remains at the company and there is plenty of opportunity if you are looking for a career change. It is a global company with offices in many cities and countries. Management directives seem focused on encouraging career development. Training is available for you to pursue should you be interested. Tuition reimbursement is available if you are considering continuing your education. Benefits are excellent compared to the competition.

Cons

It currently feels like a sinking ship. Many talented individuals have left for the competition due to poor management and the general feeling that the salaries and bonuses won't be lifted again this year. Some management could use extensive training on how to interact with their employees. Professionals work in this organization, not children. When professionals are treated like children, they leave.

No idea where UBS are going

Pros

Compensation used to be pretty good. Now that subprime losses are a regular occurrence, that probably won't be for much longer. If you work in a profit center, you get treated pretty well. If you work in a cost center though, you are just a burden and are treated like one.

Cons

Management do not trust the employees. Micromanagement is rife. Management are so focused in cost saving, nothing is getting done as everything is over analyzed. Don't expect a 9-5 job. People are expected to be available almost 24/7. If you don't, be prepared to be looked at like you are lazy.
