I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (Milan)
Interview
2 rounds - technical interviews+assessment centre. technical ones were more focused on corporate finance aspects, and some more questions on knowledge about ubs unique features. they hire based on your first screening mainly, so be prepared
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at UBS in Oct 2011
Interview
1st round of interview was the phone interview- it was really short (15 mins). Did not ask many competency-based questions... they asked questions about how you would invest if you were given 1 million dollars instead. questions also on your motivations of applying to ubs and to that specific division
if you made it through the phone interview, the next and final round would be the assessment centre. the assessment centre consisted of 4 stages:
1) numerical test - 20 questions in 20 minutes. most candidates were unable to complete all of them
2) case study/individual presentation: given a case to analyse for 20 minutes. made to present to one interview. be prepared to defend you opinions
3) one-on-one interviews: technical questions may be asked here, but mostly competency-based questions. try your best to "connect/click" with the interviewer.
4) group exercise- simulation of a company meeting
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
would you invest in XYZ company? why? why not? which other companies would you consider?
