One of the few firms supporting some level of work-life balance within IB; atmosphere is very collegial and collaborative; reputation is on the rise in the US; global reputation is one of the top 3; tremendous brand equity; in the middle of a massive restructuring plan

Cons

UBS was probably the hardest hit bank by the financial crisis; return to profitability has taken a long time; UBS ranks toward the bottom of the top ten in IB within the US

Think Long & Hard Before Becoming an Analyst

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Investment banking is one of the best ways to start a career post-college. It really sets you up for a variety of jobs after your years as an analyst and a position at a top firm can really help you for whatever you pursue whether it be another job or graduate school. If you like structure, IB is the way to go because there are very strict ways in how things get accomplished. Plus, you can't beat the salary... as an analyst, not many of your friends have the opportunity to make $100,000 (and that's even with bonuses lower than usual).

Cons

The hours, absolutely no balance of social/family life outside of work, colleagues not exactly empathetic to anything going on outside of work. The lifestyle is not for everyone and might not be worth the money. Think hard about accepting an offer to an IB firm because the payoff might not be worth it.

Company in turmoil

wealth management intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It was a good experience. Everyone had relatively high salaries for the type of work they seemed to be doing.

Cons

Low morale and a quiet work environment without much collaboration made getting through the day a chore. People didnt seem to move very fluidly from position to position like the rest of the industry.
