      YOU AND US!

      Pros

      UBS is THE premiere wealth management shop on the street. It brings a good brand name and pedigree when marketing for clients. With the amalgamtion of so many prestigeous names, Dillon read, warburg, paine webber, O'Connor you have a wide range of experiences and expertises to cull from for when pitching business to clients. The Global asset management arm i think is second to noe, at least among tied Asset Managers. The compensation is also pretty much on par

      Cons

      The swiss are very risk averse, so you might not get much IPOs if thats your bag. Paine Webber systems are pretty much archaic. too many bolt on applications. Need some more robust.

      its a challenge

      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.

      Great for work / life balance.

      Pros

      UBS's focus on work / life balance made it an excellent place to work. My manager and team was very flexible in allowing time off and working from home when necessary. The internship and training program were great. It is a good place to start your career.

      Cons

      Since the subprime debacle, UBS has been floundering in lack of direction. The direction that they take in the next couple of months will be a big deciding factor in how well they fair. The work is not that challenging and can get tedious. The people that you work with range in skill and quality.
