I applied online. I interviewed at UBS (Cleveland, OH)
Interview
Initial screening with hiring manager. Questions were related to prior experience working with clients, and some personal questions such as, what are your hobbies, who is your mentor. Then after initial screening, I met with larger team to see group dynamics. Each team is very different and while UBS is the overarching company, there are no set interview standards and so your mileage may vary based on which team you are interviewing with. Interview process was quick from time to application submission to offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me what made you interested in working for UBS?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY)
Interview
Mostly behavioral and fit questions, no trick questions, come across as personable since that is a big part of what the job itself is and it will help you get the job

Question 1
Tell me about yourself/Walk me through your resume
Basic resume questions, they ask about your finance background. Start with an HR screening followed by interview with the Managers. Pretty basic, however no timeline was given. The phone call comes out of no where for screening too so get ready for on the spot.

Question 1
What finance classes did you take in school and what was your favorite
Got brought in by a former manager of mine since she saw on LinkedIn that I was looking for a job. Took an interview with team #1 manager, it went well. Got set up for an interview with team #1. The questions from the team were weird, like “why did you choose your college?” I haven’t been in college for 15 years, so that question seems irrelevant. That team did not hire me.
Manager sets me up with team #2. I only met with this teams manager but everything aligned. The interview went great. This job hadn’t been posted yet and I was the only applicant. She told me to hold for a couple of weeks due to some time off. I reached back out when I knew they were all back in office (from what she told me) and was told more than 48 hours after I sent that follow up that they’re going in a different direction. Huh???
I dont think this company knows what they’re looking for. I was also told it’s a very “conservative” company. Whatever that means.
