UBS reviews

Many: - Ask for a high salary when you join: the company from what I observed gives absent/low raises each year. They will promote that promotion is the way to go if you want a higher salary, where only a few internally get promoted after years and years of working. You'd better change job after a year or two, and come back after some time if you want an honest salary that stay competitive. A worker might feel over time like they are not valued/appreciated, until they might realize they might just be part of a big Swiss "Squid Game" where the main goal of the company is to make the 1% of the world richer, and it might not imply paying correctly and sustainably their employees. - The turnover is pretty high, and you might wonder when the company decides to stop hiring in Poland for a even cheaper country. - There might be a lot of directors, hierarchy, divisions changes, so you might have multiple team leader in a year - The whole security/ecosystem to log in and work is very bothersome. It looks cool at first, but you will quickly realize how annoying it is for the worker. - All the money on equipment/training is being funded/refunded over a large period of time : you buy your laptop to be able to work (no laptop provided), you get a bit of its cost back every month for over 30 months - The training provided internally is pretty bad/absent. You will probably work on topics you don't fully understand, but "that'll do" - Working at a bank implies having to do frequently a lot of security/compliance trainings that take a lot of time, energy, and focus - There is a lot of information a bit everywhere, intranet, confluence etc. When you want an answer (HR, tools, rules etc) , it can take a while to find what you need.

1)All the while, the management has been squeezing us dry; they are always trying to reduce headcount by cutting some processes or using robots to run some tasks but the volume is always so high and robots breaks down often. 2) I can never understand why are the management are always counting the time needed to do each tasks but are always not providing enough staff to cover the work. 3) They are always hiring temporary staff which in turn waste alot of our time in training them up as the turnover rate is high with such unstable source of manpower. 4) The worst thing is that they are never going to reward us; pay freezed for 4 years and bonuses of only 2 weeks. Some got none. Although there is a $900 flexible benefits per year, it is just worst overall if you have to do overtime often. 5) After some nice colleagues and good bosses left, the team dynamics changed for the worst.
