Pros

Relative stability, compared to large US banks

Cons

The aim of integrating CS has led to massive layoffs across London and Zurich, almost butchering teams. The morale for those left behind is not that great either.

Pros

Some friendly colleagues (but you should find *some* anywhere). Decent work/life balance.

Cons

Political. Bureaucratic. Prepare to spend more time preparing updates for the board than making progress elsewhere. Management is not transparent.

Pros

Benefits are decent, most people are nice

Cons

Your experience will vary widely depending on location and role. Core support areas of the firm follow antiquated, manual processes. This results in being understaffed and over worked even though it is acknowledged how much work there is and how difficult it is to fill those roles. There is no real commitment to supporting those groups. There is also lots of pressure to constantly justify policy exceptions as long as it brings in money. Regardless of what the risk or ethics might actually be.
