Pros

You can spend some time for Yourself and nobody cares about it

Cons

This is black hole for software engineer. Old and not interesting projects. Limitation of accesses to everywhere. People think about moving from the company as soon as possible. It's good place for engineers who don't want to develop themselves in the way of engineering.

Pros

There are some nice, talented people to work with in technology in UBS Wealth Management Americas. Financial Advisers and their staffs are very professional, interesting and successful.

Cons

Horrible communication in technology. Treated employees horribly from a corporate / management communication standpoint. Everything in technology is underfunded and behind the curve for competing with other companies in this category. As with many large companies, management changes periodically (6 months, 1 year, 18 months, no longer than 2 years) so long term strategy and maintaining consistent resources is close to impossible. Contracted large technology firms is strategic at the management level but disastrous at the implementation level, especially technology development resources. Plans have been to move technology out of the NYC area to other locations for cost savings. Salaries are undercut at every opportunity.
