Pros

- Newly renovated facilities - Good work/life balance - Good company as a whole, looks great on your resume

Cons

- No upward mobility, almost exclusively hires externally - Salary is embarrassingly low, no bonus - Incredibly unprofessional work environment (i.e. profanity, open conversations about personal relations with other employees) - The entire purpose for the firm bringing operations to Nashville was to be able to pay dumb southern workers half what they paid the staff in Jersey - Management is from before UBS made a push to invest in Nashville, so they're grossly under-qualified - Quality of product suffering, so the firm is backtracking and hiring half of Goldman Sachs to come in and clean up the mess.

Pros

Nice people. Work from home supported. Flexible schedule. Great parking if you are a company executive.

Cons

Worse than the "Office Space" movie. You need multiple approvals to do the simplest of tasks. No raises and tiny bonuses. More focused on deadlines than quality. Spend most of your time figuring out who to ask for help.

Pros

They payed a rather high salary considering that I barely had any work experience. We had a nice work environment in a modern, building with a house bar, free nespresso and a huge terrace with a great view over Zurich.

Cons

After a while the work became quiet monotonic. It was alright for a temporary job but for a longer period it would have been too boring.
