I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at UBS (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2022
Interview
Multiple rounds, done via Skype / Zoom. Will be asked technical questions about hedge funds. I interviewed for a couple of different teams and was a finalist however was never told that I didn't get job. Was just left to twist in wind without so much as a generic email from HR.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UBS (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2013
Interview
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.
