      Can be a good place to work, but it really depends on the area.

      Pros

      Good work/life balance for the most part. If you're prepared to stick your neck out then you have got the opportunity to work on some interesting projects, but you really have to be a self starter.

      Cons

      Management is quite weak across the board. Tough decisions are usually avoided where ever possible. Political correctness and mind games are rife and an the bank shows a complete inability to sack useless people really who drain the energy and morale of all around them.

      Pros

      Great place to work, great team, great culture. UBS has a unique atmosphere as an Investment Bank, and a culture that promotes a good work-life balance. The IT team is a valued part of the organisation, and from an IT perspective UBS promotes the use of industry best practice tools and approaches. UBS has an industry leading career development and career review process which is taken extremely seriously by management, and rewards and promotions are based on merit with a fair and transparent process to back them up.

      Cons

      Currently undergoing some tough times (as at June 2008), but UBS Investment Bank has good fundamentals and a strong leadership team, so the business and will definitely bounce back strongly as the market recovers.

      Pros

      UBS is a great company to work at with loads of opportunities for personal growth, mobility and exposure to a wide range of diversity. It makes it a very enjoyable place to work at, which I would recommend to anyone wanting to work in the financial area.

      Cons

      Big companies always suffer from such "size diseases", and so does UBS. But I doubt those are specific to UBS, and I see them as the price to pay and the flipside of the coin of all the benefits associated with size.
