I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Ubisoft (Bucharest, Bucuresti)
Interview
I interviewed a long time ago - things surely changed in the meantime.
There are now tests involved and what they are after is a very trained, logical, structured person.
Make sure you built some mods, built some levels and understand the basics of game design - rules, sign&feedback, etc.
Search the internet for the Ubisoft Design Academy courses. I remember a Gamasutra article - that might help.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

If I might seem like i talk nonsense - welcome to the design world :)
