I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY) in Dec 2011
Interview
Submitted my resume/cover letter through school's career page, but I don't think that's how I got the interview. They were on campus and I went out with a few of their reps to dinner and bars after an information session; I was told that night I'd get an interview.
There were two phone interviews, mostly behavioral with one or two markets related questions. I was then invited to the Superday, which consisted of six 30-minute interviews, back to back. Again, the interviews were mostly behavioral but a little bit more geared toward market-based questions. One guy asked me what stocks I was following, to which I had no good answer. Luckily the next interviewer came in just in time to interrupt us. I also got a really easy probability question from one of the interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This wasn't difficult, but it's the only specific question I can remember.
You're playing basketball and you're down by 2. You know you can hit a 2-pointer to tie the game with 28% probability, and then go on to win the game in overtime with 50% probability. Alternatively, you know you can hit a 3-pointer and win with 15% probability. Which do you take?
AC one 30 min behavioural and one 30 min technical. Behavioural was primarily based on CV, lots of questions on extra curriculars, technical interview brain teaser on how many McDonalds orders per second
online tests -> hirevue -> 1st round with associates -> 2nd with executive directors. pretty straightforward, good experience, pretty fast as well, generic questions about the role and markets, brainteasers, personal questions on experience
HireVue consisting of behavioural questions. Received after completing online assessment. 1 min to prepare, 2 mins to answer. A couple of more think on your feet questions at the end compared to the basic tell me whens
