Great place to work, may be difficult to grow within the company from the bottom

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

very supportive management in Switzerland, US management seems to be less so, there is larger emphasis on work life balance in Switzerland versus the US

Cons

Some managers recognize accomplishments, while others expect it and give less feedback, but you can easily adjust if you are not too picky and it should not be a problem

UBS - good, but not great.

Credit analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

While some banks are more cutthroat and competitive, UBS is generally more collegial. People work hard, but the stress level seems a bit less than other places. The atmosphere in the office is generally pretty laid back, until things heat up during a crisis. Hours are flexible as long as the work gets done. Some come early, some stay late.

Cons

Getting ahead is frustrating. A lot of old Swiss bankers are pushed up just by virtue of being Swiss, it seems. There don't appear to be many young people in higher positions, but it may differ between departments. Also, salaries aren't as high as other shops.

Great place to work if you don't need too much money.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large global and diverse firm with opportunities for mobility and advancement. Progressive management style. Large balance sheet in a challenging market. Large presence in different geographic location, so if you are the type of person that is looking to move around you can create an even larger lexicon of future opportinuties.

Cons

Disconnected upper management from ground floor operations. Lack of recognition for value add and dedication. Slow salary growth for employees that work their way up from within the firm. Difficult system of promoting direct reports. If you are a manager, it is not easy to get your people the recognition they deserve.
