Business Outlook
Pros
UBS definitely has a large scale, global presence...you get to regularly work with people from London, Singapore, and Zurich. It's easy to move internally, and there are several opportunities to learn and grow.
Cons
Long hours are very common (working from 7AM-1AM every day-high burnout rate where entire teams turnover 100% at least 2-3 times a year). In addition, the politics are extreme, petty behavior rampant, and management is unfair...there is a "what's in it for me" attitude rather than what's best for the company. Anytime there is a problem, there is a tendency to blameshift or to roll out a new system...the IT department is massive, but no one seems to know how all the systems work and fit together.
