Pros

UBS is a large firm with good infrastructure and training to help you get started. If you're fresh into finance, UBS is one of the best places to get started. It's also one of the most women friendly banks that I've seen.

Cons

Large firm means you can get lost amongst the crowd. If you want to stand out you really need to be doing alot to get noticed. Conservative style of management/legal and compliance means alot of business opportunities may be let go, although the current mortgage back securities crisis doesn't seem to confirm this...

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.
