      Industrial Placement Interview

      Apr 1, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at UBS (London, England) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      I applied online. Standard numerical and SJT as part of application. Was then asked to complete a video interview which I was given almost 3 weeks to complete in my own time. Video interview consisted of a mix of competency (e.g. tell us about one time where you brought change to a process) and technical (what technologies may UBS be looking at in the future). Waited 6 weeks until I was invited to an assessment centre for the following week. Spent a lot of time researching the company, what work it has done in my particular field and practising my competencies. The assessment centre was very straightforward - two 1 to 1 interviews - competency and commercial. Both interviewers were super friendly and helped me relax before commencing with questions. Standard competency questions e.g. how have you shown initiative, and commercial was more to with where you see yourself in the business. Was told that I would hear back within 1-2 weeks, but I got a call that same afternoon with a verbal offer. Was super excited and still am - very much looking forward to starting in the summer.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at UBS

      Interview

      So I applied to the Global research division in Hong Kong office (and from a non-finance background as a sophomore) - did the numerical testing + submitted my resume through their website - invited to do a hirevue video interview, 45 sec to prep, 2 mins to answer, 8 questions, basic behavioural question, prepare for question you know they will ask (why this position? why you?) -invited to do a superday shortly after, two 30mins back to back interview with directors who worked in the firm for 10+ years, very nice people, understanding of my background so it didnt go too technical, mainly asked question about my interest and logical thinking, pretty relaxed and the interview went very conversational, so i enjoyed talking to them a lot - sent an email to HR to follow up on the application process, told me that I am accepted, waiting for contract to be sent over next week
