Pros

In the business aligned technology groups there are a lot of really bright people working on a wide range of projects using a wide range of technologies. Within IT at least, there is excellent work life balance and a strong collaborative culture, which helps make working that bit more enjoyable.

Cons

As a bank, the IT function is huge, so you do get the feeling of being a small fish in a huge sea. Whilst communication and teamwork within the immediate group is good, it can often be hard to see the bigger picture, and cross-division collaboration can be painful. Plus given that UBS was formed through a series of mergers, there is a lot of legacy stuff lurking around.
