First year MBA in a pretty good spot with internship offers at UBS, BarCap, and CS. Was curious what people thought about the overall reputation and people at each of the firms. -Thanks

I have just answered for 15 other people. You're welcome.
UBS is a historical big player in USA M&A but si currently undergoing a major internal overhaul due to its exposure to the credit turmoil.
Credit Suisse and Barcap are smaller structures, but faster-growing. Certainly two of the biggest winners in a post-crisis perspective.
Barcap
I say Barcap, but I don't think anyone could fault you for going with CS.
Reputation-wise, UBS has a long way to go before it catches up to many of the other BBs.
BARCAP!
