Try a UBS HireVue question
UBS runs a distinctive HireVue that reflects their dual identity as both an investment bank and the world's largest wealth manager. Questions frequently bridge these two worlds — they want candidates who understand how UBS's wealth management relationships create deal flow for the investment bank. The Swiss firm's HireVue also tests cultural fit differently from US banks: precision, discretion, and client-first thinking are weighted more heavily than aggressive deal enthusiasm.
