That's pretty crazy that someone would risk googling answers during a zoom interview. I would probably terminate the interview if I felt that was going on. We had a recent hire who we found out had falsified information on their application. No one caught it until after he was hired. They fired him immediately, but I just can't understand why people would chance doing things like that.

You wouldn’t have any grounds to terminate the interview unless there were explicit rules discussed beforehand, otherwise you’d be risking Citi being sued.

How would they cheat? Like googling responses for questions?

What of the rules of an interview? There has to be rules for cheating to occur?

If they were no rules, there was no cheating. I have used notes, quick google search (couldn’t for the life of me remember what an acronym meant lol) etc. during phone interviews. The only major red flag would be someone in the background giving answers, other than that, it’s just initiative.

Wow

I haven't, I'm guessing the same doesn't hold true for you though. What happened? How exactly were they cheating? I can't imagine anyone actually trying to pull this off and thinking they'd get away with it.

Visa friends! Had an interview in London, got the verbal, and am doing the visa dance.

Hi Guys,

I have completed my tech interview rounds with UBS and have received email for fitment round.

Can anyone share what happens in this fitment round on interview?
HRs have asked to submit documents even before this fitment round; which seems unusual. Is this normal for UBS and this is how they progress?

Thank you.
