UBS was really great to work with but in recent years lacks leadership, morale and compensation could be better.

Executive director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large international organization with great opportunities to learn a lot and be able to move around. You work hard and you can grow professionally and take on new responsibilities. Great internal development and education opportunities which one should not let pass by.

Cons

Complex organization, in recent years lacks leadership and credibility vis-à-vis employees. If you are an FA or Banker you probably are doing great. But if you are in Corporate Center or Home Office you are rather viewed as a "2nd class citizen" and you feel this in every way. Overall the morale of employees could be better. Many great and experienced professionals left the organization or were let go. Company has a know-how drain in certain areas which is a concern.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people with a comfortable work environment

Cons

Management is poor, lacking vision and the ability to work with you. Not long before they will be sold off to another financial institution and changes will unfold. Lower salary compared to other firms.

Little intrinsic motivation & employees not valued

Sourcing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries are on the high end of scale compared to remaining industries in Switzerland. As a global player, there are a lot of opportunities to gain international experience and further your career.

Cons

Greed and lack of respect for employees are the predominant factors in the corporate culture. Performance review process and talent management programs are not transparent and hence of little true value.
