Interview questions [1]
Question 1
2 minutes each question. There are 5 Japanese questions. The other 5 was asking in English : > Achievement outside school? > Skills you can bring to the company? > Why UBS? > Can you give us any financial news about today’s events? > Any other details you want us to know about you?
Informal and 50/50 split between behavioral and technical. Consisted of 4 phone calls with various members of the team, starting with director, and then Senior Associate, and then Analyst for the more technical interview.
Standard technicals, but not the best culturally. Asked to walk through M&A transaction, as well as mental math. Asked to talk to previous experiences, particularly past technical experience. Very very serious.
