Pros

I had a long, fulfilling career at UBS (and the former PaineWebber) and was consistently promoted and given progressively more responsibilities for most of my tenure there.

Cons

A management change in 2009 brought in an executive team from Merrill Lynch. After that, the culture shifted to recruiting from outside, particularly Merrill alums, instead of promoting from within.

What's wrong with UBS

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Has global reach for those that want their money outside the US.Management is totally focused on ROA.Management seems to be competent.

Cons

Every department seems to have their own profit center relative to year end bonuses for management.Overly concerned about short term goals(monthly) vs yearly.
