Pros

UBS has some of the best people in the industry. They should remember that people make the firm and make sure they value their employees. The opportunities are immense and people can move up easily. Work life balance is very good, depending on the group (and boss).

Cons

High turnover and average pay. The trend of staying at one job for 20+ years is a thing of the past and the firm is impacted by these movements. Compensation would be better.

Pros

No Pros with UBS for technology team as they treat technology teams as just expense

Cons

if given a chance to return back to papers filiing for reports or risk calculations or reporting UBS will do so. They do not like IT team eating money.
