UBS, still not a good shop?

First year analyst looking to make a pivot, is UBS still not a good shop?

I've seen some posts about them losing money the past 1 to 2 years and browsing linkedin shows some pretty heavy turnover. 

The people I've spoke with seem nice enough. I'm in the second / third round of the process.

Any thoughts?

Everything is relative, what are your other options? What's ur current shop? Which UBS group? Which region?

 

I’ve heard the same as in them losing money of late and that resulting in lower bonuses, especially at the Junior level. Not sure which team, but there could be potential for layoffs if things don’t pick up

 

UBS Tech is not so good now; rainmaker MD’s got poached/left to SVB and now the UBS tech team works on sell side m&a 300m EV deals

 

For some reason WSO is tweaking, they now work on sub three hundred EV m&a deals
