Pros

work life balance, benefits, friendly, european brand, exposure to different business units

Cons

Senior Mgt gives no direction, very disorganized, lack of innovation, US business has less flexibility in making business decisions (most decisions come from Europe), commute to stamford can be difficult, compensation lower than other banks, dress code is VERY casual (I prefer a business environment) UBS has laid off a significant amount of people and many respectful seniors have left. There is a lack of focus as to where the business is going. A lot of people are losing confidence in this company....

Business Outlook

Pros

Great teams all working together globally to deliver the best possible solutions for internal and external clients. Some great products and applications and staff which should put UBS at the forefront of clients minds.

Cons

Obviously all the recent problems have not helped with staff morale over the last 12 months. All the changes within management have also not helped. Employees do not know who they are working for and who is reviewing their performance.
