Pros

Good corporate environment with plenty of feedback. Hours suck but the culture maintains a positive outlook. UBS, though going through tough times right now, is well positioned to succeed in the long term. They are committed to keeping the three pronged system together. Thus, they don't have the liquidity problems of a Bear or a Lehman. I am satisfied.

Cons

Long hours. Very long (90-130 hrs/week). No joke. I thought the senior bankers embellished the hours, but I was wrong. The work is tedious and never ending, and personal relationships suffer, but the long term benefit far outways the cost.

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.
