Pros

* They can offer attractive looking compensation for the right fit. * There are some quality people on UBS team * Powerpoint ninjas and impressive talkers rule the place

Cons

* IB and Wealth Management appear to be doing ok. Asset Mgmt is under pressure with no coherent strategy * Quality of systems & IT is very weak -- among the weakest in large banks. Not enough thought is spent on design. Help-desk is not helpful. * Benefits are quite weak for a large company. In certain divisions, you'll have to move your accounts to UBS. That can amount to a meaningful financial penalty. Consider with overall offer (get it in writing) * Some in middle management were asking staff to give them good ratings on anonymous surveys

Pros

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Cons

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
