A compnay that is severely paralyzed by thier own inabilities. Very poor senior management in the corporate groups.

Pros

Many locations to choose from. Good opportunities to learn new skills - if you are in the right group with the right manager. The philosophy is good - execution is tragically absent. They SAY the right things......

Cons

UBS gets caught up in it's own jungle and mess. Managerial communication to employees about timely and relevant items is absolutely lacking in the corporate groups. In fact, managers are rude to the people they manage. Working away from corporate headquarters is much better than the headquarter environment. You actually like your colleagues. your job and might still have fun. Technology is pitiful for such a large "worldwide" organization. Name recognition is not so good any longer.

Better than the other houses. Tough to build a book of business in this environment; UBS doesn't know how either

Pros

Good support through licensing. A couple of real shining leaders of sales acumen in Weehawken, others, not so much. Good benefits. Better than the other big houses by reputation. Broad product platform. Free lunches from wholesalers.

Cons

No one is showing you the real cutting edge to get new clients in this environment and compliance will keep your hands tied. Branch direction can be quite different from Weehawken. If Hell breaks loose, as it did in 08-09; no one is going to hold your hand and help you.

Moral is low

Pros

There is plenty of work to go around. There are tons of opportunities to streamline old manual processes and add value. There are some very smart people here. The diversified business model has kept us afloat during the current financial crisis. New upper management seems to have a better idea of what's going on than their predecessors.

Cons

It's still way too hard to get anything done. A simple process can have loads of unnecessary validation and approval steps required. There is limited straight-through automation. This leads to human error and forces employees to scramble to try to get their work done. Moral is extremely low, and every round of layoffs results in more work for the rest of us, with even less time to think about how it can be improved.
