Pros

UBS has a great reputation, but the reality of working in CDIO London is very different. Flexible on hours and working days in the office for most teams.

Cons

Sadly, because employees have been told they're the best, they think they can act rudely, and often borderline inappropriate. I had to say to a line manger 5 times I am not comfortable in a 121 situation with them before they allowed me to leave a call following them making up lies that I had email proof of. Comments including 'you should go on sit on the naughty stair because you've been a naughty boy' were heard more than once. One week in the office (3 days in) in a packed office, not one person held a conversation. Often people overlap on work, and quite regularly, one team have cancelled or moved on to something else, without informing other teams, teams work in massive silos and nobody shares information unless it goes all the way up the management chain to come back down with management quite often having a job for the sake of a job and to decide what information gets to where.

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.
