UBS reviews

1. Excessive Workplace Politics The team lead frequently withholds information and even lies to team members. Employees hesitate to take time off because they fear others will claim credit for their work during their absence. 2. Favoritism Based on Appearance The team lead shows clear bias toward younger, more attractive female employees, granting them preferential access to resources. They often misuse company time, such as occupying meeting rooms for hours just to socialize and have fun. 3. Below-Market Compensation The company pays the lowest wages in the industry, making employees some of the worst-compensated professionals in the field. Meanwhile, bonuses are disproportionately awarded to incompetent individuals who lack basic business acumen. 4. Bureaucratic Work Culture Instead of focusing on innovation, employees are forced to attend endless, unproductive meetings that contribute little to actual progress.

Attrition; upper management staff all think they are semi-gods, not bothering with the "lower staff" (despite us running the business). Since Credit Suisse integration, innovation and proper business is at stand still. Anything (or anyone) unrelated to integration gets killed. All top mgmt wants to hear is about Credit Suisse, as their juicy bonuses are directly linked to it, while us lower staff won't see a dime of it. Performance management and salary transparency is non existent. No help from direct manager or HR to steer or develop my career. Promotion is a political process, not driven by objective target measurement. Project reporting is ridiculous: reports of reports , with some "portfolio mgmt" teams imposing deadline and chasing for status reports and RAG statuses that no-one reads nor understands, bringing unnecessary work and friction to the whole. Benefits have been lowered more and more. Nothing else than free coffee at the office and cheap sunrise abos. Infrastructure is really lame, with unusable systems, very slow and overall archaic solutions. IT support is so-so. Working from home is not officially refrained, but we feel the pressure of coming back to the office even if not officially told, by for example having so much remote login issues.
