Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UBS (Pune) in July 2015.
Interview
Was directly called for a F2F interview with 2 people. They make you wait in the waiting lounge of the hotel where the interview is held.
People who finished their interviews before you keep coming periodically to this lounge. So does the neatly dressed HR to let them know one after the ther that "the team would contact her/him later". On this particular day, almost all of them were made to go away. Needless to say it was a polite way of saying no.
Interview Questions
1. Tell us about yourself.
2. Let's discuss last 3 of the projects you have worked on.
3. What was the architecture like? Draw the architecture layers (or just blocks) and specify the corresponding technologies used to implement them. Grilled completely on this question.
4. Some standard Java questions like "how does a HashMap work", "Java synchronization mechanisms including CyclicBarrier and CountdownLatch"
5. Last 4-5 minutes were kept for the candidate to ask questions.
Total interview duration - 1 hour 15 minutes. Verdict - No offer Answer Question
