I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Pretty straight forward they had me meet with three different interviewers that asked pretty general questions since its an entry level role with training. Asked questions about UBS current events and other important things going on in the current financial market.
Asked to pick a stock and basic questions. Be prepared. This was for investment banking they seemed willing to teach but you need a basic understanding of reits and investment banking
