      Better than the other houses. Tough to build a book of business in this environment; UBS doesn't know how either

      Pros

      Good support through licensing. A couple of real shining leaders of sales acumen in Weehawken, others, not so much. Good benefits. Better than the other big houses by reputation. Broad product platform. Free lunches from wholesalers.

      Cons

      No one is showing you the real cutting edge to get new clients in this environment and compliance will keep your hands tied. Branch direction can be quite different from Weehawken. If Hell breaks loose, as it did in 08-09; no one is going to hold your hand and help you.

      Moral is low

      Business manager in operations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is plenty of work to go around. There are tons of opportunities to streamline old manual processes and add value. There are some very smart people here. The diversified business model has kept us afloat during the current financial crisis. New upper management seems to have a better idea of what's going on than their predecessors.

      Cons

      It's still way too hard to get anything done. A simple process can have loads of unnecessary validation and approval steps required. There is limited straight-through automation. This leads to human error and forces employees to scramble to try to get their work done. Moral is extremely low, and every round of layoffs results in more work for the rest of us, with even less time to think about how it can be improved.

      Good for an internship

      Operations intern

      Pros

      Good to have on your resume, people are generally impressed. Not as cut throat as some of the other investment banks.

      Cons

      My job was particularly boring, though some of the other interns had interesting assignments. In the end, I had to make my own experience.
