      Moral is low

      Business manager in operations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is plenty of work to go around. There are tons of opportunities to streamline old manual processes and add value. There are some very smart people here. The diversified business model has kept us afloat during the current financial crisis. New upper management seems to have a better idea of what's going on than their predecessors.

      Cons

      It's still way too hard to get anything done. A simple process can have loads of unnecessary validation and approval steps required. There is limited straight-through automation. This leads to human error and forces employees to scramble to try to get their work done. Moral is extremely low, and every round of layoffs results in more work for the rest of us, with even less time to think about how it can be improved.

      UBS is a great place for a first year MBA to get experience.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I am a Summer Associate in the Equity Research department of the Investment Bank. This means that I am a first year MBA student who receives a pro-rated salary and no benefits. UBS has an excellent brand and a great training program which should more than prepare me to receive a full time offer upon graduation.

      Cons

      UBS has far less name recognition than the uber-bulge bracket banks like Goldman, Morgan Stanley, and others. Most of my "non finance" friends have never heard of the bank.
