Pros

Great environment. It is hard to get a job but no one never leaves. Good and stable work place with lot of employee benefits. Infrastructure is often one of the best in market.

Cons

Too big corporation, so work is specialized and narrow which might hurt when leaving UBS. Also the job pressure is very high as any error is prone to huge loss to the bank. This often leaves people to work under extreme caution at the expense of work effectiveness. More like government job as external people get frustrated in dealing with.

Pros

The company is unique among IBs in that it is seems to view the employee as a person than as a headcount. HR policies are considerate towards making things convenient for the employee. Has a collaborative culture and fellow colleagues are more open to sharing information and brainstorming even across different groups in the company. The firm is also a nice addition to a resume and is a respected name in finance.

Cons

Seems to underpay market. Also, the company sometimes loses deals to white shoe IBs like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley because they are more established in IB and have a better perception of being committed to IB.
