Pros

UBS encourages a good work / life balance. There is no excessive bureaucracy like at some of the American banks and people just get on with their jobs. Everyone I worked with was very friendly and highly skilled. In the technology areas, their interview process is pretty tough, but if you get through it you can be sure you will be working with people who know what they are doing. Their offices are in the city instead of Canary Wharf, which means an easier commute for some.

Cons

They aren't the best payers in the industry. Their offices could do with a bit of a face lift.

UBS: At least you have a job.

Pros

1. Benefits - Everything you should expect from an employer in the Financials (for salaried employees - not sure otherwise) including at least three weeks vacation, Health, Dental, Life, AD&D, Disability, 401k partial match, Legal, etc. 2. Online training development - Intranet site has a vast amount of internet based training that you can take at any time across a broad spectrum of subjects from Java programming to foreign exchange lending.

Cons

1. Possible Layoffs at any time 2. Multiple years without any type of salary increase and/or bonus regardless of company or personal performance. 3. Location - a 15 minute ferry ride from NYC or just outside the Lincoln Tunnel so the commute can be brutal. There is also an additional fee for parking - $40-50 per month.
