I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UBS in Jan 2021
Interview
First round phone screen with a senior banker, followed by on-site superday at the NY office. Superday consisted of a few interviews consisting of mid- and senior-level bankers in different groups.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you value a company?
Why are you interested in investment banking?
Why do you want to join UBS?
What industries are you interested in?
Informal and 50/50 split between behavioral and technical. Consisted of 4 phone calls with various members of the team, starting with director, and then Senior Associate, and then Analyst for the more technical interview.
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.

Question 1
Mental math IE- a rope burns from two ends at 30 minutes... etc
I applied online. I interviewed at UBS (Hong Kong)
Interview
2 rounds with one senior and one junior, overall questions are general.
Need some understanding on the sector to be covered. And also some technical questions.
But the chemistry did not went well.
