I applied through university. I interviewed at UBS (Weehawken, NJ) in Oct 2016
Interview
very straightforward interview consisting of one interview on campus with 2 recruiters at once and then a super day. All behavioral questions very easy. The superday consisted of having lunch with people who went through the program and then you have about five interviews with employees from different sectors.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had conflict with a team member
One online zoom call with PWM advisor and associate. Mostly behavioral and market questions - be prepared for some some scenario analysis (ex: if a client won the lottery for $50,000,000 - how you invest it and what is the breakdown across asset classes).
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
Mostly behavioral questions and one question about current events. There were about seven questions in total. The whole hirevue took me about 30 minutes to complete. It is not very difficult to prepare for.
