Pros

Good Benefits Great people Senior management tries to keep employees abreast of what they are doing

Cons

Pay is not competitive to rest of industry, no raises for past few years and lousy bonuses. If you're lucky to move to a new position, won't get compensentation of the new job, everything is treated as a lateral move.

Pros

There are a lot of knowledgeable people working at UBS. In IT, you can easily learn a great deal about the business (whatever area you are in) by asking questions - to the right people.

Cons

Following a process is considered far more important than getting something done efficiently or correctly. As long as you have a document and you can show that you followed it, it doesn't matter how badly things turned out.
