I applied online. I interviewed at UBS (Londra, Inghilterra) in Mar 2023
Interview
Two weeks after application, I was contacted by a Lead Recruiter and invited for a virtual assessment centre that would take place in another two weeks. Meanwhile, I had to complete an assignment that included quantitative research questions and time series questions based on a case study. The assessment centre was 3 hours long and was mostly conversational and took place back to back with 4 different people. There was a bit of time crunch and some questions were more about finance than research science. They called me four weeks later to inform me about a rejection and also gave feedback.
