The whole interview was 1 hr long and there were combined technical and behavioral questions. The interviewer was nice, but the questions were hard. Questions include Python, Machine Learning things, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you select the best model during your recent project.
The first stage Interview was via phone.
Questions regarding CV and leadership experience.
No response to the interview for four weeks, then I got an email that I was not selected for the next round
UBS has terrible application processes.
They put me forward for roles for which I am not suitable for and yet reject me for roles that I am suitable for.
For example, my CV mentioned nothing about business analysis or project management. I have no experience in that area, never held any job titles of that nature and yet they push my CV/Application forward for such roles.
While at the same time, rejecting me for AI/NLP roles for which I have tons of experience in.
Just shows how utterly clueless their HR recruitment process is and why it does not work.
They also use some terrible behavorial questions which are so random that it just reflects how such processes of recruitment do not work. Plus, under GDPR guidelines you should not even be using such tests for profiling and capturing personal data about candidates.
Their approach to recruitment sucks. No wonder they struggle to fill any roles.
And, their coding is based on jupyter notebooks, like why?! do you not expect data scientists to know how to pipeline and productionize their models, only a dimwit would use jupyter notebooks beyond prototyping. And, part way through working you are bound to get cut off through networking issues on their end so it resets all your work.

Question 1
interview questions were completely unrelated to my CV because they recommended me to the manager who was expecting me to be a business analyst or project manager when I have no experience in that area nor any interest. I imagine this is because of the silly behavorial questions, that assumes that people cannot micromanage their own work. Or, maybe they just don't bother reading the CV defeating the whole reason why we have resumes in first place.
