What is the hiring process like at UBS?

Great interview process, great benefits and good apprentice network

There is pressure and high expectations

Big company to work with

Bad hiring process and difficult

Leave policy is good Interview process is good Good work life balance

Worst management Worst increment and bonus management gives this to employees who keep buttering them

The interviewers were very interested to know about me, as they were already confident in my experience

The process was rigorous, as expected, but the administrative process was drawn out and took longer than promised

opportunities for varied and interesting projects. lots of training available. great place for early career development and growth

Weak senior leadership in some areas. Has led to big problems in some teams as known issues with certain managers are not dealt with promptly and effectively. The year end appraisal process causes unhealthy competition and can demotivate people who are doing a good job as they can be forced into a 'needs focus' category. Since merger with Credit Suisse it seems much more difficult to get promoted

3 different rotations in 3 different departments

Hiring process is difficult and long

People, best in class, nice office, pay good

Complicated process and systems which can be frustrating

Good interview process good online assessment process

No cons for working ubs

- Many international teams, which broadens the horizon - Depending on the team, the people are nice, talented and motivated (or not)

- If you don’t work in wealth management or similar but rather IT, data jobs, risk etc., don’t jojn. Your salary will stagnate, promotions are scarce and there is no budget. - Too much political games that have net-negative impact on the employee motivation and actual output - Too much bureaucracy, they are adding new processes all the time to pretend like they are adding value - A good team will be good, a bad will be bad, and you aren’t able to change anything at all about unfair treatment / racism / whatever from your line manager short of switching teams - Be careful, employee to line manager feedback is not really anonymous, especially in small teams, the line manager will find out and there is nothing that HR will do against retaliation - very old-fashioned and hierarchical, top-down - many “dinosaurs” who have worked here since the 80ies and are keeping they comfortable warm places but are difficult to work with - Tasks are boring from a data science perspective, but at least they are using cloud and some newer technologues - Due to integration with CS, there will be even less money for employees and less opportunities for promotions for a while, but at least this is not the company’s fault

nice people around, summer and winter parties, weekend trips organized by the company

internal mobility = changing position without the salary adjustment/for the same money, no yearly pay rises, complicated process to be promoted
