UBS reviews

Ambition strained ability to manage success at the peak and poor decisions by prior management have undermined confidence. Not as well known in the Americas. Company has been brought together through a series of mergers that were all successful in the short run but many of which are not yet fully integrated. Sometimes, implementation has not been directed at the long run and the planning process is not fully thought out or flexible enough. I have yet to see this significantly improve at my level. There is uncertainty around at the moment given the situation in the industry and level of changes required. Given the adjustment required there is likely to be short run pain but the changes being implement make sense for the long run.

Probably as an every other global organization there are certain problems with communication. This include team members from different regions communicating to each other, different teams around sharing knowledge, management sharing their plans for future. One person might have several managers all giving him different tasks to do and sometimes even not knowing that these things contradict each other. Traders are quite special people - sometimes hard to deal with.
