UBS Employer Reviews

Very professional setting where you can help grow an indivdual profolio.

21 years is a long time-so in summary - I learned so much. I do not like doing reviews as they are only a partial glimpse of what I am capable of.

Everyone I worked with here was a joy and very helpful. My manager was great at his job and probably one of the best I have had. Each day he would take an hour out of the end of my shift and sit with me to go over any issues or concerns I had as well as teach me and show me new material about the financial market. Due to this experience, I have grown – more... to love finance and wish to pursue a long lasting career within the field. Good place to work, as long as you have the right people around. – less

UBS being the company the JA students worked for competed in a team effort against other companies to reach a superior sales goal. Through a well organized group of brain storming students we created ways to sell a product to customers is such a way that made buying the product a beneficial act for everyone.

UBS is in a significant cost cutting mindset. They have significantly reduced their workforce and are in the process of offshoring many of the operational roles. I would advise against taking an operational role with UBS for the foreseeable future.

During my time at UBS, I was able to learn new things such as opening a new/updating a account, renew loans, search client information, provide client with information regarding their account and prepare for a client visit. Everyone at UBS are very helpful and friendly, take time our of their work routine to share some knowledge of the work they do. – more... I have to say every moment during my years at UBS were enjoyable. – less

I worked as a Senior Compliance Analyst in both the Registration and Insurance Licensing Departments. My supervisors were helpful and approachable. My coworkers and I worked as a great team. I loved working there but they outsourced my job to India.

I started as receptionist, which consisted of answering phones and directing clients, and also assisting with filing documents. My co-workers were wonderful to work with and very helpful. There is opportunity to move up to a brokers assistant, broker or salesperson.

Responsible for 1400 Hewlett Packard Migration and deployment of Windows XP and Windows 7 includes receiving assets, moving equipment, staging equipment for build/image.time management. My co-workers we worked as a team. Completely the work.

A typical day i would speak to a stock broker and do all her errands such as make phone calls for her, organize her address book, read her mail, co-assist other co-workers.

Pretty standard, sometimes I feel underused and not challenging enough but it could be worse.

The most enjoyable part is you get exposure to many fields but the hours are too long and no work life balance at all

General sales and operational job. Team work atmosphere. Job highly depends on the FA or team that you work for.

Reviewing financial statements, internal accounting systems.
Learned how to multi-task and prioritize assignments accordingly.

A typical day at work consists of calls and managing project metrics. I have learned great skills from this company and effective cross functional collaboration.

Upper management seems to be out of touch with employees in the lower ranks unfortunately and does not make an effort to know their team. My coworkers are always willing to help and teach – more... - they are great.

The hardest part of the job is the job security, which keeps morale low. – less

Traders could be harsh, and short tempered. At the end of the day, it was all about making money and getting the job done.
Analysts who traveled often were very fussy about flight accommodations and getting reimbursed in a timely manner
Phone volume was heavy, and letting calls go into voicemail was frowned upon

Very professional environment. Rules – more... and regulations were followed closely.
Some things fell through the cracks and some administrative assistants were lax. They got away with doing less work, while others worked harder to prove themselves.
Raises were scarce.
Some managers were not attentive to the needs of their assistants and could be very selfish
Human Resources tried to accommodate you if possible, with transfers to other departments if you were unhappy with current situation. – less
