      Decent place to work - don't expect to get paid - Director, Compliance & Operational Risk Control UBS Employee Review

      2.0
      May 20, 2018
      Director, compliance & operational risk control
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Solid work/life balance (roughly 45 hours per week) and decent PTO (20 days). Unusual degree of opportunity for junior/mid-level staff to lead large projects.

      Cons

      Poor compensation (bonuses are well below market). Requires all brokerage accounts to be maintained in-house, which is annoying because UBS fees are significantly higher than other shops (e.g., Fidelity). IB/Sales & Trading businesses are dying. Senior management is (understandably) focusing on wealth management. Strong desire to "near-shore" compliance officers to Nashville.
