Behavioral Prompt: Aligning With UBS's Culture

Context: You are interviewing for a software engineering role. Provide two concise, evidence-based examples from your experience that demonstrate fit with UBS's culture.

Please address both of the following:

1. Client Focus and Collaborative Problem Solving

• Describe the situation and the client/user need.
• Explain the actions you took, highlighting cross-functional collaboration (e.g., PM, QA, SRE, Data, Security, Design).
• State the trade-offs you considered (e.g., scope vs. timeline, performance vs. tech debt, speed vs. quality).
• Share the measurable outcome (use numbers: latency, uptime, NPS/CSAT, adoption, revenue, tickets reduced).

2. Risk Awareness and Integrity

• Describe the situation and the specific risk (e.g., security/privacy, operational, regulatory, financial, ethical).
• Explain your actions to surface, assess, and mitigate the risk, including escalation and documentation.
• State the trade-offs you considered (e.g., launch delay vs. exposure, short-term metrics vs. long-term trust).
• Share the measurable outcome (e.g., incidents avoided, audit findings resolved, MTTR/defect rate improved, compliance passed).
