I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at UBS (Pune) in May 2019
Interview
I managed to go thru 2 rounds of Interview with UBS and HR scheduled both the calls perfectly. In the first round I met a genuine guy who was patient enough and was assessing me on my work and experience and hearing me patiently.
The second one was with a guy from New York and I can swear that was my worst ever interview experience. I was intimidated and insulted in that call but I was still patient. He wont let me talk and interrupt me in every line. I can assure that guy doesnt have any knowledge on Data Science and Python Language. He was asking me definitions of some random machine learning terms(hope he doesnt know ML and Deep learning are vast subjects and no one can have a complete knowledge on that and everyone works on their field of choice like NLP, Image Processing etc.). An interviewer should evaluate a person's experience and not asking definition of this or that. Being a python developer from 8 years this is the most funniest thing I heard from an interviewer- what are different types of generators in Python? I was like that you even know what generators are? I said can you tell me since i dont know types of generators in Python, never heard of it. On that he replied Yield is a generator. I was about to hang up after hearing this. I was still patient and explained him yield just return the next value in iterator and it's like return in any regular function. I'm happy that I didnt make thru that interview round. I dont want to work with someone posing as a Data Scientist when he is not. Thank God.
I hasn't been invited to the interview after the initial screening, which was business reasoning questions and work style questions. It took me around 60 minutes to complete this test.

Question 1
General questions on work style and some questions on business reasoning
I applied online. I interviewed at UBS (London, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
Had 2 interviews with the team, then a case study, an interview with the global head, and another interview with HR. So 5 total rounds... The final call with HR was very positive, but they never mentioned an offer, although signs that there would be one. In the end the position was offered to an internal candidate, however I was never reached out to by HR... after 5 rounds and such positive feedback was really expecting the HR to at least be honest with me and tell me I did not get the position.

Question 1
With HR I was only asked about salary and visa status, both which were ok.
HR round. This section is the easiest, mostly here for screening and validation of the profile
Tech round with team. Most challenging section
Final round with panel. Didn't get to this point
