Pros

In current market its a safe haven as its backed by a nationalized swiss bank . Also the management was smart enought to write off its bad assets before anyone else when the mortgage meltdown started.

Cons

they stopped serving beer on fridays :( . The headoffice is at Stamford , so lot of projects are run out of Stamford . So for the NY/NJ folks, you might have to make a trip to Stamford once a while , may be more often in some cases

Pros

Work location is easy to reach by ferry and car. Business leadership is excellent.

Cons

IT management has drastically changed in the past 2 years. New management has reverted to nepotism and hired all Sr. Management from prior firm. Old managers from UBS, some with the firm for more than 15 years, were fired or encouraged to find new jobs and have all left. Key decisions in IT are now made by a select few and not consistent with business needs or wants. The firm is making very bad choices about technology and spending money on foolish projects while letting core systems fall apart due to lack of funding and resource support.

Pros

The work life balance was very good. I definitely contributed during my short time there and I got to interact with many of the brokers and advisors at the branch.

Cons

There was not too much structure to the work that I was doing. The pay is also not comparable to other jobs in the financial industry but the experience I felt was worth the salary sacrifice.
