      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Truly global multi-cultural environment with great opportunities to work on cutting edge technologies. A lot of smart people (although that number has been dwindling of recent). Good compensation package and "large firm" job stability.

      Cons

      Risk-averse CYA culture that permeates from the senior management to the rank-and-files. Constant consensus seeking and group-think. Lack of decision making authority and empowerment an all levels. Politics and making yourself look good rule the day, while many projects run for years with nothing getting done. Majority of truly talented innovative people either have left or are looking to leave.

      Pros

      Great intranet site for learning - articles, papers, project documents. Looking back on my time there I learned so much just from their intranet. They also spend a lot of time and effort on branding and corporate image, prior to the meltdown I was proud to be apart of the UBS team.

      Cons

      Manager kept interesting project work away from me so I could stick to my day-to-day Operations work even though I was a magnet for challenging work because of my skills. Ultimately, I left because I was not allowed to work on a project I really wanted to be part of and was a perfect fit for my skills.
