I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (Weehawken, NJ)
Interview
The company is much more focused on culture fit than technical acumen, as they can teach you that aspect. In order to prepare for the interview, you should learn as much as you can about UBS, the wealth management industry, and current events that can influence the direction of the stock market.
I applied online. I interviewed at UBS (Weehawken, NJ) in Oct 2015
Interview
The interview process was quite harsh. It was two-45 min interviews, one technical and one behavioral. The behavioral interview was fairly straight forward. The technical interview however was not as good. The interviewer felt the need to bash my skills and told me I was at a huge disadvantage. Then there was a group exercise, which was when they gave us an objective and they watched us like Guinea pigs.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (London, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
Got only to telephone interview. Heavily competency based, look up core competencies on their website. What threw me off was a broad question about commercial awareness. The interviewer was friendly and nice. I got a rejection email in a few days, didn't wait too long.
