Team work example.
It was a comoetency based phone interview. I lasted 15minutes and I felt like the interviewer was not interested. Also i heard someone laughing in the background which was very unprofessional.
There were 30 minutes each with 2 sessions. 10 minutes each for you to ask questions. All behavioral questions. The interviewer is not very aggressive and are good at answering questions.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at UBS in Oct 2015
Interview
Online tests, group dinamics (should study the bank services, as m&a), specific test for research (pretty simple), an interview with two analists, with some market sizing questions and stocks questions, and a final interview with the head of the area
