Interview Details the interview process was a bit lengthy but it was very pleasantly conducted by the HR and the team mates who were involved in the interview process.

Audit Manager at UBS

No Offer – Interviewed in Stamford, CT (US) – Reviewed Mar 24, 2013

Interview Details HR seemed very good. I had three rounds of one on one interviews. Then I never heard anything back from them. I followed up once with HR and was told everything went well and they would be finishing up their interview process soon. That was the last I heard.

Overall interview process was very good but after three rounds I would have expected at least an email or phone call that they were going to go with someone else. That aspect was unprofessional.

Interview Question – Standard audit questions. They mostly look for personality.   Answer Question

Systems Engineer Intern at UBS

No Offer – Interviewed in Stamford, CT (US) Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 23, 2013

Interview Details I applied online and got a first round interview at school. Since I went to a "UBS Days" event a month before, I had already met the interviewer and knew him decently well so the first round was very short and quick and was basically guaranteed second round. He did ask one question which was how do you create a website which is very simple and straight-forward. Second round was on their campus which was two one on one interviews and a group activity which is just sitting in a room with the other candidates discussing a problem they gave you. There were surprisingly no technical questions whatsoever but all behavioral

Interview Question – There really were none. 1) how do you make/setup a website, 2) tell me a time when you worked on a team (outcome etc), 3) run me through your resume   Answer Question

Senior Fund Accountant at UBS

No Offer – Interviewed in Dublin, Dublin (Ireland) Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 20, 2013

Interview Details There was one interview with a representative of HR and two fund accounting managers. Initially HR did all the speaking just doing a quick run through of my CV and then it was over to the two managers. There were a lot of competency based questions and then one manager was particularly brutal with lots of very technical questions which took me by surprise. He asked about how to make specific postings and which ledgers they would hit. My impression overall was that if they were going to be this difficult in the interview, then I wouldn't really like to work for them.

Interview Question – How would you post a fee and what ledgers would it hit?
Can you explain a master feeder structure?
