      Stagnant, stepchild of UBS Investment Bank

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Capitalises (or capitalised before 2008) on UBS' brand strength (weakness). Benefits, standardised at the UBS Group level, and its global presence are the few positives.

      Cons

      Cost-cutting has been the mantra for the last two years and has reduced resources (including compensation) to minimal levels. Its overall ability to attract funds is relatively weak compared to larger asset-manager competitors and is also intertwined with Wealth Management's reputation and brand strength which has suffered considerably since UBS' U.S. tax litigation, major financial losses and management changes.

      Tense place to work in the last three years

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Co-workers in various departments were always willing to pitch in.

      Cons

      There were lay-offs at least three times a year since 2007. As a result, employees no longer believe in the brand or in building a career with UBS. The new CEO of Wealth Management seems to be trying to turn UBS into another Merrill Lynch and there is no value on what has been done in the past.
