Tough times ahead, but the same can be said for most, if not all firms in the financial sector.

Excellent work/life balance at the cost of compensation.

Pros

Work Life balance is excellent at UBS. Management is very considerate of your needs and knows allows time off from work if you need it. Wealth management division is laid back and there is not much pressure. The company also tries to really make its employees happy and everyone at the firm is extremely helpful and friendly.

Cons

My compensation seems a little lower then the industry. Technology being used here is outdated and we are forced to learn legacy languages in order to provide support. Poor choices by one of the firm's business groups drastically affects other business groups too. Performance reviews are very subjective given the high emphasis placed on them. It varies significantly from manager to manager.

Pros

Company helps employees balance work and personal life. The facilities are ok not great. UBS used to have free beer, snacks, etc on Fridays which was great. The coffee choices are excellent. They have the K-cups with lots of choices. The work is challenging but not hectic. There is a huge number of consultants working here.

Cons

Its a hell of a haul if you are out of state, especially during the "school" year. Traffic is brutal at times. An early or late schedule is best in order to avoid being stuck in traffic. Trains are an option for some but not me.
