I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (Zúrich) in Sep 2015
Interview
Very professional interview process with clear followup from HR. I first received an email stating my profile is reviewed by line manager. The whole process took 1 month. Later 4 rounds of interviews on 4 different dates. 1st interview was with Line manager, 2nd interview was with another line manager, 3rd interview was with HR. 4th interview was with Managing director. At all steps of the interview process the interviews were very well prepared, kind and focused.
