Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Two interviews, 30 minutes each. Consisted of basic behavioral questions and asked specific questions about your resume. Strengths/weaknesses, etc. There was a pre-interview reception the night before where we met all the interviewers. They seemed like nice people.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Weehawken, NJ (took 4+ weeks)
The first round 1:1 interview took place at my campus. It was very easy and very relaxed. The interviewer was very nice and we just chatted for the majority of it. Just talk about your resume.
The second round was their "super day" which had a hand full of other intern potentials. The interviews consisted of 3 1:1 interviews all back to back. It was a little tedious because they kept asking me the same questions. The day ended with all the interns given a scenario and working together as a group to solve the problem while the interviewers were watching. My advice would be to contribute in the discussion no matter what.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2+ weeks)
Pretty Straight Forward, Clear goals so no wondering around, a bit tricky in technical skill tests. Critical decision making questions were asked, so judging whether the candidate can take initiative or not.

A few curve balls such as I was asked if those responsible for financial crisis should be punished and about basel 3 and how the swish finish was factored in.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
1st round of interview was the phone interview- it was really short (15 mins). Did not ask many competency-based questions... they asked questions about how you would invest if you were given 1 million dollars instead. questions also on your motivations of applying to ubs and to that specific division
if you made it through the phone interview, the next and final round would be the assessment centre. the assessment centre consisted of 4 stages:
1) numerical test - 20 questions in 20 minutes. most candidates were unable to complete all of them
2) case study/individual presentation: given a case to analyse for 20 minutes. made to present to one interview. be prepared to defend you opinions
3) one-on-one interviews: technical questions may be asked here, but mostly competency-based questions. try your best to "connect/click" with the interviewer.
4) group exercise- simulation of a company meeting
