I interviewed at UBS

Interview

The wait time between each round is about 2 weeks - 1 month. The first interview is cognitive/behavioral, standard IQ-type questions. Second interview is an online interview, which had many technical financial components, so it's best to be prepared. Third interview is an in-person interview, where it went wrong for me. In my opinion, the interviewer didn't care about what I had to say, but was more interested in trying to prove me wrong for everything. To a certain extent it definitely felt demeaning, and I didn't feel heard, because I would get interrupted mid-way on why my answer doesn't make sense. Basically, I have an engineering bachelors instead of finance, and the interviewer started quizzing me about engineering concepts and tried to insinuate that I was wrong in my engineering evaluation, almost sneeringly, even though I was the one with an engineering background. Those questions also felt riddled with misconceptions. That round had a lot of technical finance questions, and IQ puzzles like a modified knight's tour. Sure, I could code the solution to Knight's Tour if you give me some time, but to ask me to visualise it and give you an answer on the spot seems extremely demanding. I think I had 4 such puzzles, with 10 minutes to solve each. I only managed to solve 1, even though I do relatively well in problem solving and standard IQ tests (For round 1's cognitive interview, I had 100% accuracy and speed on all 39 questions, which in their portal system placed me as "extremely fast" and "extremely accurate" relative to other candidates for this position) . Not sure if I was unlucky with my interviewer, or if I rubbed him the wrong way in the beginning, but either way I hope your experience is better than mine! At the end of the day, I do think it's a good opportunity.

Interview

At first I was contacted by HR to complete and assessment. After that I was contacted again for another interview. I asked whether I needed to prepare anything in advance for the interview and got the reply that it would be like just general simple questions and didn't need to prepare anything. However, I was given additional problems to solve on the spot. Negatives: 1. they did not offer any valuable/actionable feedback at the end and 2. did not respond to emails to offer a status update on the application or the hiring process.
