Pros

global platform, very idea driven. communication within divisions can be very good; many participants allows for tremendous idea flow. it is clear that employees are committed to the business, the industry, and most importantly the clients.

Cons

swiss government and swiss people have made a bad situation worse with no visibility for future. mgt allowed a once proud franchise to implode. ceo gruebel is a known quantity for reorganizing financial services firms and thankfully he apparently has relationships with swiss regulators. perhaps he can create a more positive environment for all constituents to work together for a common goal.

Pros

UBS is a great company that is very committed to its employees. The culture is very unlike many of the other financial services companies in the UK. It offers great opportunities for personal and career growth.

Cons

Some of the downsides relate to mid-level management. My requests for time off were consistently postponed and rejected. However, this related more to my personal manager and may not be reflective of the company as a whole.

UBS is a great place for a first year MBA to get experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

I am a Summer Associate in the Equity Research department of the Investment Bank. This means that I am a first year MBA student who receives a pro-rated salary and no benefits. UBS has an excellent brand and a great training program which should more than prepare me to receive a full time offer upon graduation.

Cons

UBS has far less name recognition than the uber-bulge bracket banks like Goldman, Morgan Stanley, and others. Most of my "non finance" friends have never heard of the bank.
