I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (Nashville, TN) in Jun 2015
Interview
Very fast, initial HR screen, then met with by supervisor and manager. Spoke at the office where I will be working for about an hour, then took a quick tour of the facility. Very low key and friendly environment. They had just opened up their offices in the area so they were doing a lot of hiring at the time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions about experience and expectations, No behavioral questions
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
Interview questions [1]
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.
