I applied online. I interviewed at UBS (Moskau, ) in Dec 2013
Interview
There must be about 2 interviews: one with hr and another one with analysts. I attended only the first one. Questions were not so difficult like "tell us about you", why should we choose you", "what do you know about UBS", why have you chosen IBD?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions were expected, but most difficult one was concerned information about UBS. That day I expected only numerical test, not interview and I had not prepared for this question.
Informal and 50/50 split between behavioral and technical. Consisted of 4 phone calls with various members of the team, starting with director, and then Senior Associate, and then Analyst for the more technical interview.
Standard technicals, but not the best culturally. Asked to walk through M&A transaction, as well as mental math. Asked to talk to previous experiences, particularly past technical experience. Very very serious.

Question 1
Mental math IE- a rope burns from two ends at 30 minutes... etc
2 rounds with one senior and one junior, overall questions are general.
Need some understanding on the sector to be covered. And also some technical questions.
But the chemistry did not went well.
