UBS reviews

Worked in model validation and was made to believe it would be a data science type position in interviews. It was no such thing. Just reading and writing documentation and tons of beating a dead horse. So boring that after about a week I knew I needed out. Ancient technology Tons of reading documentation Restricted access to everything and data is all over the place and disorganized Late night meetings with people in Singapore No direction from leadership whatsoever Processes are all defined very vaguely so no one knows how anything is actually supposed to be done

Every opportunity to save money is taken. Down to coffee cups and cutlery. I've seen 20 year vets at this company get laid off 5 years from retirement because of budget moves. I've seen entire teams get moved offshore regardless of the talent. Every decision comes down to numbers. UBS does not pay competitively so be sure to ask high when you come in. Part of it is the corporate world but UBS amplifies it.
