I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UBS (Stamford, CT) in Feb 2010
Interview
I did an on campus interview for the first round, and headed to the final round in Stamford, CT, as that's where the main trading floor is. The interview experience was pretty mixed- some of the interviewers were very friendly and gave a lot of advice, while others just looked really tired. A lot of brain teasers and math questions.

Why do you think you were selected for the final round of interviews?
Digital interview comprising of various questions. Allowed 2 minutes to prepare for each question with a further two minutes to answer each question. The last question was rather open-ended and asked about general interest

Quick, efficient, easy as it was at home. Didn't have to worry about face-to-face. The questions were clear and easy to understand. Didn't feel like they were trying to trick you out

Interview
Received test invitation in less a week after submitting the application.
First round: online, behavior and IQ-test-like test. Not difficult.
Second round: online, behavior question, very difficult for me. Asked questions I had never thought of. So I died here.
