I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (London, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
I guess UBS changed their CCS to Global Banking, which came as a surprise. Anyways, the interview process was just an online application. After that I got invited to take a situational and numerical test. The numerical test was crazy...easy questions but things that would take more than the allotted 70 seconds or so to solve. So I guess just prepare to do some mental math or know how to use your calculator like a robot. If you pass that, you get invited to take a Sonru video interview which only had 6 questions compared to previous years which had 7 or 8. I just completed the video interview so I'm still awaiting their decision.
