Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 1 week)
Interview was for a Summer Intern position. Overall, the interview process from phone interview to Superday was very straightforward. Much more relaxed and casual one-on-one interview than I expected. Simple questions such as why UBS, why should we chose you, and some common ethical/behavioral questions.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Very unimpressive people come to campus and tell you how impressive you are. They bus/fly you to Stamford and continue to remain unimpressive. They show you the trading floor which is pretty cool. The interviewers on campus didn't speak English although the Credit Risk individuals at the HQ were better.

Reason for Declining
Better offer at other banks. Also, Stamford is farrrrr....
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Personality Test, a Skills Test and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
The day before my interview, I was invited to join the UBS recruitment team for a small dinner at my school. The entire team was very cordial and I had a great time getting to know them all before the interview the following day.
For the interview itself, it was primarily just a run-down of my resume and who I am. No technical questions, and there was sufficient time at the end for me to ask questions as well.
Overall great experience, bummed I didn't get an offer.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
I was called into the local branch in order to conduct a 1:1 interview with the advisor that I would be interning for. The interview consisted of a number of questions and conversation regarding the business. I was asked to walk the advisor through my resume and why I was interested in an internship within wealth management. Fairly simple interview and I was offered the job.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Weehawken, NJ (took 2 days)
Initial interview consisted of phone interview with HR. Was fairly straightforward and mostly behavioral type questions. Didn't hear back from them until a month later asking me to come in for an on site interview. Went in and more behavioral/finance specific questions.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 weeks)
The process was pretty straight forward. I intially applied through my University career services. At that point I received an email that they wanted to interview me over the phone. Was not hard at all, mainly behavioral with some brain teasers thrown in. About a week later a received notice that i had madde it to the second round and went into the office for a super day. This round was a little more technical but still had more fit questions than I expected. A couple days after that they let me know I had an offfer.
