The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY) in Feb 2009
Interview
There were two people in the interview, one seemed to play the good cop, one seemed to play the bad cop. Overall a standard IB interview, they asked for DCF cash flow, and everything on your resume. Be prepared to know your resume inside and out, because if you BS something, they will ask you indepth questions which I was not prepared to answer.
Informal and 50/50 split between behavioral and technical. Consisted of 4 phone calls with various members of the team, starting with director, and then Senior Associate, and then Analyst for the more technical interview.
Standard technicals, but not the best culturally. Asked to walk through M&A transaction, as well as mental math. Asked to talk to previous experiences, particularly past technical experience. Very very serious.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mental math IE- a rope burns from two ends at 30 minutes... etc
I applied online. I interviewed at UBS (Hong Kong)
Interview
2 rounds with one senior and one junior, overall questions are general.
Need some understanding on the sector to be covered. And also some technical questions.
But the chemistry did not went well.
