exciting challenging work, very professional management and staff

Senior software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Full of interesting and challenging projects, and technology was surprisingly quite up to date for such a large bank. Very professional staff and atmosphere, even during the phase when I worked there which coincided with a very difficult economic climate, and the fallout from their US crisis. Opportunities to move laterally into banking if one wishes. Zurich is a fantastic city in which to live and work.

Cons

not a lot. I brought a young family, and I suppose integrating within Swiss community was the main difficulty.

Business Outlook

Pros

The vacation policy and benefits are some of the best I've seen. People in the sales and product organizations are no nonsense, straight shooters who are also very friendly. The have a respected brand name and the most productive Advisors on the street.

Cons

The home office has become a politically-driven, bureaucratic mess. Managers are required to force-rank employees by titles even though functional roles may be completely different. This causes a lot of infighting as people vie for an ever dwindling piece of the bonus pie. They are also looking to define a culture in an industry where competitors already have clearly established cultures.
