Pros
UBS is a true meritocracy where you are evaluated on your skills and what you bring to the table versus the face time that most bankers have to put in. I did my MBA summer and internship there, and because I had such a positive experience, I decided to return full-time after i completed my MBA.
Cons
It is an investment bank after all. Thus, work life balance does not really exist. Though, UBS appears to be more fair than other banks on Wall Street. Also, UBS pays slightly less than other banks on Wall Street. That is something to consider when someone who is doing the same job as you is paid 20% more a few blocks away.
