Instructions

Things to do to prepare for the UBS interview

• ensure that your machine has a Java JDK installed on it (we are assuming Java 7 will be used)
• install an IDE of your choice to perform the interview (we have used Jetbrains Intellij)
• included with this archive is an example project that is built using gradle, before the interview you should familiarise yourself with working on a Gradle project in the IDE of your choice.
• when your environment is set up correctly running gradlew check from the command line should complete successfully.

We value

• simple, elegant code that reads like a narrative
• thinking about the code more than the writing of the code (we spend a lot of time thinking/debating about what we are writing)
• transparency and feedback to support continuous learning
• excellent testing that acts as documentation
• challenging boundaries where necessary

What to expect from our process

• we will send you a similar archive to this one with a README.md file that will describe to you what we need from you for the interview
• you will have one hour to complete the interview, after which you will need to create a new archive including your solution and send it back to us (reply to the sender)
• we will then review your solution and feedback to you opportunities for improving the solution
• we will independently review with your agent whether we will pursue your application further
