Nice for the long term, if the firm survives...

Pros

In mid-term or long-term, benefits package, work life balance and career advancement are excellent. Base pay is essentially fixed based on your rank, the bonus of course is where you make the money. I was in a non-banking role within the firm. Pay ended up being higher than you'd make for a similar role at a non-finance firm, but lower than the pure bankers would make.

Cons

Near-term pay can be lower than competitors. Though they can be aggressive on compensation for select employees. Swiss decision making style is bottom up consensus driven which means it can feel like an oil tanker at times.

Good place to learn the ropes, perhaps not the best place to get ahead.

Pros

UBS is a large firm with good infrastructure and training to help you get started. If you're fresh into finance, UBS is one of the best places to get started. It's also one of the most women friendly banks that I've seen.

Cons

Large firm means you can get lost amongst the crowd. If you want to stand out you really need to be doing alot to get noticed. Conservative style of management/legal and compliance means alot of business opportunities may be let go, although the current mortgage back securities crisis doesn't seem to confirm this...
