      Challenging yet somewhat meaningful during the crisis

      Pros

      Many talented people working for UBS. In CH, it is a brand that still has some weight. Compensation and benefits are on the level of the market. There have been attempts done to create positive changes on the culture.

      Cons

      Lack of strong leadership both on the top and middle management and this influences the loss of the talented people to the market/other Banks. Very silo-ed. Change is extremely difficult to do here. Internal politic is quite intense during this period and somewhat the organisation seems to be "senior rank-heavy".

      Pros

      UBS is one of those companies where it's so big and there are so many different types of environments depending on where you are located, your job function, etc., that it's tough to broadly characterize benefits to working here. In a crude attempt to do so however, I'll say that this is a great place to have on your resume. It has international recognition, experts in several finance-based practices work here, and it is a fine place to grow/develop or move on from.

      Cons

      When morale is low it is LOW. I worked here at the height of the financial meltdown and things were very bad. People were cynical and had bad outlooks about their position in the company. The company also gets a bad rap from client tax scandals, taking bailouts, and poor investment practices. That being said, this may not be unlike so many other large Wall Street players that have problems of their own.
