Recent MBA's experience at UBS Investment Bank, New York, NY

Associate director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

UBS is a true meritocracy where you are evaluated on your skills and what you bring to the table versus the face time that most bankers have to put in. I did my MBA summer and internship there, and because I had such a positive experience, I decided to return full-time after i completed my MBA.

Cons

It is an investment bank after all. Thus, work life balance does not really exist. Though, UBS appears to be more fair than other banks on Wall Street. Also, UBS pays slightly less than other banks on Wall Street. That is something to consider when someone who is doing the same job as you is paid 20% more a few blocks away.

Pros

close to home, great for work life balance. they have a diverse culture (been with them for 15 years). moving up or laterally within the company is encouraged.

Cons

getting promoted is very hard. some departments are not as accomodating to people with families and require longer hours.

Business Outlook

Pros

good work/life balance, IT positions are pretty much 9 - 5 in the Chicago office. good time off/vacation policy. technology seems to be fairly up to date.

Cons

lack of growth opportunity and slow salary increase (I've heard that some employees do not receive a raise for 3 straight years!). the work is pretty mudane in the Chicago office. for better career advancement and more challenging work, have to relocate to Stamford office.
