I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UBS in Aug 2015
Interview
Applied directly to the team head. First casual interview about the position and then a technical interview with the whole team (5 people). Technical interview lasted about 1h45. After the technical interview the background check (vetting) was performed by the HR department. In total it lasted about 2 weeks in total.

Question 1
How would you develop a credit rating tool? Technical stuff about my previous job experience. Minor programming questions (i.e. how would you join two tables)? A bit of statistics.
First round was panel Interview with 2 people, Ask questions on Statistics and resume. One was the VP of the team and other was regional manager. The Interview was not that difficult. But then I was ghosted. There was no reply from either HR or anyone else, I tried contacting them several times
4 rounds in total, 1 HR and 3 interviews with different members of the team, overall a smooth process with focus on the candidate experience and the value add to the team
