My interviews consisted of three rounds, meeting several members of the team. My first round was great, it was online and informative as well as asking relevant questions. My second round was also online. My interviewers were uninterested, were not aware of UBS headlines or company news directly relevant to them, and instead obsessed around irrelevant questions about my studies. To make things worse their cameras were off as they ‘didn’t know how to turn them on’. Having gone through multiple lockdowns it is pathetic and rude that these directors of UBS are incapable of switching on their cameras whilst working from home. My third round was in person at the UBS head office. I arrived 15 minutes early as expected for a candidate. My interviewers had not informed reception I would be arriving, and after pacing the lobby for 30 minutes I got the call up to a meeting room where I waited a further 10 minutes for them to arrive. Upon arrival they did not apologise which is irrational to me, given they work with private clients where attention to tardiness is paramount. The questions asked were incredibly basic and dull and did not cover the competencies of the role, which is not what I expected from an MD/ Team head. To round everything off the process for this interview took 107 days. I say again 107 days… I had to chase the HR/ recruitment team at least five times in the process and even then they would not respond within 48 hours. Ultimately the team at UBS are sluggish in their reactions, ill prepared and cannot make dynamic decisions. If you are looking to apply for roles at UBS I recommend looking at competitors or trying to get an internal recommendation so you don’t have to deal with the HR/Recruitment team, and you will have someone on the inside to inform you. UBS has a great brand, but a sluggish and undynamic team behind the helm.

Gute Strukturierung im Gespräch, der längste Teil bezog sich auf die bisherigen Erfahrungen und wie diese in die beworbene Rolle passen könnten. Sehr viele spezifische Fragen zu Prozessverständnis und Wissen in Bezug auf die Rolle wurden gestellt.
