UBS has terrible application processes.
They put me forward for roles for which I am not suitable for and yet reject me for roles that I am suitable for.
For example, my CV mentioned nothing about business analysis or project management. I have no experience in that area, never held any job titles of that nature and yet they push my CV/Application forward for such roles.
While at the same time, rejecting me for AI/NLP roles for which I have tons of experience in.
Just shows how utterly clueless their HR recruitment process is and why it does not work.
They also use some terrible behavorial questions which are so random that it just reflects how such processes of recruitment do not work. Plus, under GDPR guidelines you should not even be using such tests for profiling and capturing personal data about candidates.
Their approach to recruitment sucks. No wonder they struggle to fill any roles.
And, their coding is based on jupyter notebooks, like why?! do you not expect data scientists to know how to pipeline and productionize their models, only a dimwit would use jupyter notebooks beyond prototyping. And, part way through working you are bound to get cut off through networking issues on their end so it resets all your work.

interview questions were completely unrelated to my CV because they recommended me to the manager who was expecting me to be a business analyst or project manager when I have no experience in that area nor any interest. I imagine this is because of the silly behavorial questions, that assumes that people cannot micromanage their own work. Or, maybe they just don't bother reading the CV defeating the whole reason why we have resumes in first place.
I hasn't been invited to the interview after the initial screening, which was business reasoning questions and work style questions. It took me around 60 minutes to complete this test.

General questions on work style and some questions on business reasoning
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso UBS (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di ott 2025
Colloquio
Had 2 interviews with the team, then a case study, an interview with the global head, and another interview with HR. So 5 total rounds... The final call with HR was very positive, but they never mentioned an offer, although signs that there would be one. In the end the position was offered to an internal candidate, however I was never reached out to by HR... after 5 rounds and such positive feedback was really expecting the HR to at least be honest with me and tell me I did not get the position.

With HR I was only asked about salary and visa status, both which were ok.
HR round. This section is the easiest, mostly here for screening and validation of the profile
Tech round with team. Most challenging section
Final round with panel. Didn't get to this point
