Pros

Coworkers are generally friendly. Also, has a laid back work environment. Very good work life balance.

Cons

Work environment was pretty good until a few years ago. There has been a lot of low morale. Company needs to improve compensation. Bonuses have been dismal to say the least. Computer/IT is a bit archaic, please upgrade.

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.
