Vantaggi
Most of the people that work there, are good quality people, both co-workers and support staff. I have never felt much pressure to sell a particular product - ideas are offered up, but it is left up to each Financial Advisor, the products they are most comfortable working with. Pretty open to different business models, although some areas don't receive a lot of support.
Svantaggi
UBS is a decent firm within the financial services industry - at issue is the constant bungling and lack of foresight and integrity of the industry as a whole. It's behind in some areas like technology, but new management has been making strides at upgrading. The industry has a long way to go to revamp the business, so that more money is being spent on fundamentals like due diligence and less on the wildly overcompensated upper echelon i.e. BSD traders and their bosses that have repeatedly brought the industry to the brink.
