I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Interview was with 2 employees. I was referred by a client and the interview was very comfortable. The interviewers were very professional but also welcoming. Standard questions asked. Didn't expect much experience as I am a college student looking for a summer internship. Somewhat slow follow up. Still waiting for the next steps in the process.

Question 1
What do you think you will be doing as an intern in wealth management at UBS?
One online zoom call with PWM advisor and associate. Mostly behavioral and market questions - be prepared for some some scenario analysis (ex: if a client won the lottery for $50,000,000 - how you invest it and what is the breakdown across asset classes).
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
Mostly behavioral questions and one question about current events. There were about seven questions in total. The whole hirevue took me about 30 minutes to complete. It is not very difficult to prepare for.
