I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UBS in Jun 2024
Interview
I was really surprised by the attitude of UBS towards the process as well as the candidate's and their own time. After a quick chat with HR, they wanted to sign me up for SIX interviews, over 45 mins each, which sums up to almost 5 hours of meetings for just one recruitment stage. Fortunately, they've agreed to squeeze it to 2.5 hours for the whole process, but having to introduce yourself and go over your CV 4 or 5 times is not necessarily a good use of one's time. The meetings with the team members were very nice and interesting but it was probably the most stretched up recruitment stage I have participated in.

Question 1

First round was panel Interview with 2 people, Ask questions on Statistics and resume. One was the VP of the team and other was regional manager. The Interview was not that difficult. But then I was ghosted. There was no reply from either HR or anyone else, I tried contacting them several times
4 rounds in total, 1 HR and 3 interviews with different members of the team, overall a smooth process with focus on the candidate experience and the value add to the team
