I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UBS (Jersey City, NJ) in Jan 2008
Interview
Phone interview came first, then I went on site to meet with various groups.
This was actually back in Feb of 2007.
They asked java 1.5 questions (template type vectors), various elements of JSP, and some SQL. They must loved textbooks definitions.
I joined for a junior role and the interview process was very straightforward. First step was filling some online forms about general fit. Then a technical interview over Teams - no live coding was involved, only questions about my past experience, the technologies I worked with and how I would solve problem xyz. After that it's straight to manager interview and decision.
