I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at UBS (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2007
Interview
Very fast and straight forward. It lasted around one hour. I was interviewed by 2 people, they were friendly and open. Questions were about my previous experience and some database related questions specific for their environment. Office was good and clean. Work culture open and friendly.

Question 1
what was the hardest project challenge you faced on your previous project
I joined for a junior role and the interview process was very straightforward. First step was filling some online forms about general fit. Then a technical interview over Teams - no live coding was involved, only questions about my past experience, the technologies I worked with and how I would solve problem xyz. After that it's straight to manager interview and decision.

Question 1
Give a detailed overview of how you would design a pipeline for streaming large amounts of data and reduce the risk of throttling or failure.
Group interview with 2 other people. They give us a problem, allow us 15 minutes of prep time, then each will sequentially get access to a keyboard to code for 10 minutes. After the code, each person is asked about what went well and what could be better
Made it to 3rd round.
1st round -> Aptitude Assessment
2nd round -> Hirevue
3rd round -> Mob Programming
Didnt make it past the mob programming session, (mob programming includes a group coding session where you and two other candidates work together to solve a problem)
