Pros

Progressive approach to infrastructure and software. Many companies are stuck in the past, keeping old systems alive even though they are outdated and problematic. UBS is at least trying to remain current. Or they were when last I was there.

Cons

Some amazingly bad middle managers with no regard for employees personal lives. If you get one of them expect to work until at least 7PM every day as well as be on call 24/7. Telecommuting is up to the individual managers are an all to great percentage of them are iron-fisted micro-managers so they do not allow it at all. Their approach to systems and software is at odds with their approach to people. I would not work there again.
