Boring place to work hard

Research analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

career ops etc, known brand, friendly HR well in the beginning atleast.

Cons

too much time at work, not respected among banks, general chaos of the last two years, lack of communication, waste of talent. There is no point in working 20 hour days when you actually do nothing. The value placed on face time is a bit silly. Morale was generally low, people leaving or being fired, code of conduct is just rubbish, and the coffee is awful. bad sandwiches too, not that those stayed very long.

A good place to work, but it has its problems

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It offers good opportunity and the ability to work throughout the globe. There are a lot of good people that work there. The Stamford office offers a nice opportunity to not be forced into the city.

Cons

We work in Stamford, CT which isn't my favorite city. The development process can be quite slow. the workforce cuts can be sharp and not always make sense. the firm is too worried about its wealth management business to take advantage of opportunities in other businesses.

UBS-A mixed bag depending on where you are working and for whom you are working

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

UBS is a large organization that has a very specific culture--one that doesn't fit everyone's liking. If you like a culture that is political, collaborative and non-transparent, you would love UBS.

Cons

UBS still remains an all-boy network which, despite surface appearances, makes it very difficult for someone that is not part of the network to "break in". Additionally, there is a lot of inconsistency found depending upon which area of the Bank you are working. Also missing is a cooperative, we're in this together attitude between the various Divisions. Each division will compete with each other, with minimal cooperation.
