Pros

Specific to UBS Wealth Management (as opposed to Investment Solutions): benefits: good overall package and generous vacation days generally laid back culture as far as flexible hours, working from home (although this greatly varies between depatments/teams)

Cons

This is specific to IT/ISD for UBS Wealth Management (as opposed to Investment Solutions): salaries and bonuses are generally significantly (10-20%) below industry averages poor information sharing between groups company is in many ways a Mainframe-shop when the industry is moving on top management / architectrure makes impractical large-sweeping technology/platform decisions - that are large politically driven & misguided. Many people on the ground / middle-managers feel that there's no one really driving the bus on top..

Pros

I really enjoyed the office, the culture was great. Professional but relaxed. Opportunities are available if you want to advance.

Cons

It really depended on which team you were put on, I enjoyed working with my FAs. Base pay was not particularly high and it was up to the FAs to add any compensation. Some do and some don't.
