Pros

Big name, relatively modern systems and frameworks. For every 3 shares of UBS you buy you will get the fourth one for free. Relatively good benefits and number of days off.

Cons

Highly hierarchical. European bank, one cannot transfer internally to a higher role than the one he currently holds, hence no internal self - promotion is possible. One of the worst on-boarding I had in my career. Officially they invest highly in education of employees and you get to have one meeting free day per month for self education. Unofficially, you're probably going to work that day. Good luck getting paid for overtime in the USA. Credit Suisse acquisition...a nightmare.

Pros

Hybrid after one year (still 4 days in the office... need more flexibility here especially for more senior FA's). High compensation for mostly younger employees

Cons

The negative of any wire house. Bureaucratic. Not the nicest people in management. Don't feel like there is people who want to help you get where you want to be

Pros

Employer absorbed annual cost increases in medical and dental benefits, keeping them affordable for employees.

Cons

Before the pandemic, spent millions on infrastructure allowing employees to "work from anywhere" . After pandemic, required employees to return to office.
