      What you need to know!

      Pros

      Make sure you get into the right team where the manager is respected and the team is welcoming and positive. UBS is known to have cultural issues across generations, gender and internal ranking system.

      Cons

      You are expected to work long hours "that's what you sign up for", take meeting calls at all hours and then be docked annual leave for medical appointments. If you are studying or have evening lectures, managers will make it difficullt for you. There have been wage freezes across UBS for several years, cheaper employees are brought across from support teams without pay increases. They churn through interns to save costs (higher bonuses for management).

      Worst company culture

      Business outlook

      Pros

      You are well remunerated and there are opportunities to move globally

      Cons

      Open bullying on the floor, abusive e-mails and sexism. People progress based on the cliques they have formed rather than merit and normally people who are intelligent such as Portfolio Managers and Analysts are treated badly by less educated sales staff. Very unprofessional environment with no one taking ownership. Racism and backstabbing not uncommon. HR is very inefficient and they have no interest in dealing with the issues. This is only an observation for the Asset management division in Sydney. The investment bank is known to be a more professional environment.
