I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at UBS
Interview
I met the RM and LM first, second interview was with the entire department of 7 people (all were in front of me as in a panel discussion) and joked that they do not want to frighten me. Regular questions about strengths and weaknesses and where I see myself in 5 years. They are looking for well-educated and positive people with ambitions and once you're hired you are punished for having any ambitious and wanting to develop.
The third interview was with HR when it was already clear that the offer will be made. Details such as salary were discussed.
