Pros

Coming straight out of college, this is a good paying job. Also, this was a free ticket to get to New York City

Cons

The Middle Office is where ambition goes to die. If you're looking for a job where you fix other people's mistakes all day long, run the same reports every single day, at the same time, are surrounded by people that hate management and frequently and loudly speak ill of the company, then this is the place for you. If you're interested in working with and learning from motivated, happy individuals, steer clear of the Middle Office completely and UBS ESPECIALLY. In the year that I was there, 12 people voluntarily left my team, 10 of which left the company. Turnover here is about 75-80%
