Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2 minutes each question. There are 5 Japanese questions. The other 5 was asking in English : > Achievement outside school? > Skills you can bring to the company? > Why UBS? > Can you give us any financial news about today’s events? > Any other details you want us to know about you?
Standard technicals, but not the best culturally. Asked to walk through M&A transaction, as well as mental math. Asked to talk to previous experiences, particularly past technical experience. Very very serious.

But the chemistry did not went well.
