I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UBS (Luxembourg)
Interview
Simple 20min first-round over the phone, quickly walked thru CV, talked about the past experience, very friendly. Been asked simple technical questions and also asked me if I follow any financial market news.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at UBS (London, England)
Interview
Initially all very well organised, really enjoyed the process and meeting management. Then after several rounds it seemed to falter and there was a lack of communication between interviewers as well as between the hiring manager and candidate. After multiple rounds of interview as a final round candidate, never heard back. I presume I didn't get the job, but would be nice to at the very least have an automated email 'you were unsuccessful' response so you're not left wondering. It is a relationship business after all!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Background, motivation, why UBS, how will you bring in business.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (London, England) in Oct 2013
Interview
Screened by HR then interviewed by managers only in one to one meetings. Met 4 people over 3 days. Each interview was relatively unstructured, but the consistent thread was how I would build my business and how long it would take. The initial approach came directly from HR at UBS by phone. They were all clear in describing the structure of the various private banker teams in London and the the bank's focus on private clients rather than institutional clients.
