UBS

standard SHL.

One numerical and the other one is logical (i.e. diagrammatic - not verbal).

@IBD_Haunter - I sent you a private message.

its very easy.

I prepared for half day and finished both.

@ bearcat:

Have you already received UBS's feedback concerning your tests or how do you know whether you've passed the tests?

I havent received anything yet, since I did them last night. I have no idea whether I pass the tests or not, though I think they are quite easy, and this feeling should be a good sign.

what division did you guys apply to?

Is the invite to the test automatic or do they review your application and then invite you? I want to apply just to use the test as practice, don't really care about the interview.....

I think the test invite is like the final part to complete your application. There might be an initial review but nothing in-depth.

Anyone heard from UBS after completing the tests?

A friend got rejected three days afterwards although he thought he had done quite well in the tests.

I'm about to take mine, so let's see how it goes.

break your leg. no news is good news.

is logic test hard?

Some of them can be very difficult... Yes... It just depends what set of questions you get unfortunately...

been invited to first round tech at UBS for full time...anyone know anything about the programming test???

@megaman1987 - From what I understand of other banks who make you do a programming test and what I've heard from friends, it will just be a booklet with lots of programming questions. They'll give you snippets of code and ask you to complete it or identify errors in code etc. They may also ask you some questions just about how you'd implement certain things in Java, C++, C blah blah. I think you can get away with pseudo code too. (Maybe not with UBS though.) They are very hard by the way. They are supposed to be and you;re not expected to complete them all. Just that most of your answers should be correct. How they judge your answers, correct or not, will be dependant on the sort of roles you are interested in also.

In the email, it says you dont need any specific knowledge of a language and the test will be looking at how fast you can learn a new language. Also u need to pass this to progress to the interviews in the afternoon...

Oh okay. I've not heard of tests like that before. I guess this is to reach out to those who aren't from a technology background. I'm not sure what they'd ask you then. Pehaps they'll give you some simple exercises to look over or snippets of code and see whether you know how to complete the rest.

If I were you, I'd probably learn the basics of programming unless you already graduated in IT in which case this might be fairly easy for you. Sorry not of much help - I don't know anyone whose even had an interview with UBS, they are very strict on academic requirements!

You must have a very strong academic background. Good luck, hopefully it will go well for you.

Thanks for the info chucky....

My academic results are great tbh, but have relevant work experience so maybe they have looked into that. I had to postpone my UBS interview as I cant make it. Sent them a email, but no response...surely their will be another round of first interviews....right??

Check your PM MegaMan

Hi Guys,

I need to ask you guys that from where I can practice the logical (diagrammatic) questions? I am familiar with the numerical test but never tried doing the logical questions.

Thanks.

@johnny_bravo_ibd :-

You can practice logical tests from PSL Kenexa.
They have some on their website

Hey all,

I've done my tests on Tue 20th Oct last week but no replies so far. How long does it take for them to get back to you guys for the first interview or (opps, a rejection letter)?

ACs are next week that's all i know

Pumpkin28, where are you located? I'm in Singapore so I wonder if my regional AC, Hong Kong, is beginning next week too. I better try calling them somehow. Bummer.

im in UK (london)!!! different locations so i wouldn't worry.

@ephsc wat dept u applied for?
i am also wating to hear from them...my application status jst shw under review since 23rd oct...:(

@ harsh, I applied for Hong Kong equities research. How can you even check your application status? Everything I tried logging in, it just says that I've applied or taken the tests. Where did you apply to as well?

do u mean logical instead of diagramamatic?
i thought SHL does not have diagrammatic test from their practice test provided

Is there any way we can check the status of UBS application....???
When I log into the application centre, it doesn't even show the positions I have applied to....

Hi

I have completed my online test with UBS over a month ago....and still haven't heard from them. Has anybody waited that log for an answer. my application status says under review but I dont get anything from them. Also they have no point of contact within the recruitment team ......its so frustrating. can any of u guys update me on wats happening?

Thanks

Is the application process for intern the same as full time? Also for interns at the first round, are you required to sit a programming test as well.

Anyone been invited to a interview yet for intern?

Anyone heard from UBS since these posts applied back in October still no word- can we assume the worst?

I would say, yes, assume the worst.

they hav strtd interviews in singapore...
had my interview for ops yest...
they also strtd wm i heard..

Was wm for the London role? Do you know of anything about the sales and trading roles? Well done to you for reaching an interview! How did it go? Hope it went well for you.

hey nno so sure abt S&T
my went well..genneral competencyy based interview...and some econommyy related ques..mmainly why UBS at this state :P

Any info whether they have started in HK?

On my Job submission status its says Online testing... but I have completed both of the tests nearly a month ago... I am very worried and am expecting the worst.

@Lilyw , I did my tests on 22 Oct and no news. I'm starting to expect the worst either that they can't be bothered to change my status to a formal REJECTED or that as in a post in Goldman Sach, they are keeping us on hold till they hear confirmation from those who were offered and then, release the vacancies back out.

For me, my status is "Application Complete" ??? Of course it's completed. I did the tests myself, remember??!?!? Felt like calling them... -____-" Booo...

@ephsc, don't be too negative, the waiting time can be frying. Which location did you apply?

Hong Kong equities research...

Hey guys,

I'm from Singapore and applied for UBS internship at the tech dept through my school and was offered the assessment test in end Sep. Got a phone interview ard the 13th of Oct and went to the assessment centre on 16th Oct. Got offered the internship in end Oct. Any one can advise on what I need to prepare in advance for the internship. I'll be basically doing infrastructure.

Any news form UBS? I completed the online tests almost 2 months ago and still nothing heard back from them? Any updates?

hey i applied for s& T singapore,but no reply yet. I wrote to UBS,they said list should be out within a week,if anybody gets a S&T call,kindly confirm here

which email did you use trehan ?

Hey guys!
I've been invited for an interview, but over the phone and didn't receive any confitmation emails, and my status is "application under review". Strange thing, isn't it? What would that mean? What do you think?
