Pros

good compensation when you start (including life insurance, pension, etc)

Cons

After a few years at UBS, you realise how it's all about politics and people only care about saving themselves. expect to get blamed by everything, even worse when its out of your competence/skillset and team. very bad handling contractors (force them to take leave then fire them while they are on leave, etc)
