Pros

1. Great learning opportunities - UBS is an ocean when it comes to financial services. One has opportunies to work in asset management, wealth management, investment banking, corporate advisory, equity research, etc. 2. Diverse culture - the people at UBS are from all over the world, giving you insights into the various cultures and encouraging you to relocate to different parts of the world, expanding your horizons.

Cons

1. Poor recognition from senior management - this is a recent phenomenon, probably linked to change in cluture at UBS of getting quick wins than establishing long-term productivity 2. Poor work-life balance - again something recent. More stress on what we can do for UBS than the other way around.

Pros

I learned a lot while interning here. The staff took time to get to know me. They each introduced me to different aspects of the business and their specific role,s which gave me great exposure to the business. They were flexible on hours and understanding when I had a family emergency in a way other employers have not been or did not need to.

Cons

Not a low-effort position, and could get overwhelming if you were not prepared.

Pros

I really enjoyed the office, the culture was great. Professional but relaxed. Opportunities are available if you want to advance.

Cons

It really depended on which team you were put on, I enjoyed working with my FAs. Base pay was not particularly high and it was up to the FAs to add any compensation. Some do and some don't.
