Pros

Putting the UBS name on resume - that's about the only good thing I took away from the experience, which was a downright awful period of time in my professional life

Cons

-Ultra boring work -Ridiculous corporate bureaucracy -Culture of passing the buck, playing hot potato with work and projects -Hyper-politicized atmosphere, where your main job -- regardless of function/department/location -- is to protect your own butt and defend your turf so you stay employed -Obscenely understaffed, so your workload is double/triple what it really should be
