I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BBVA (Dallas, TX) in Aug 2012
Interview
Initial phone interview with division vice president was pleasant and very upbeat. Followed up the next day with a second phone interview with an HR vice president to flesh out the more gritty questions such as salary expectations and if there are any hangups / hiccups in your personal history to be aware of. Afterwards, a "sit-down" interview was scheduled for the following week. This was the typical round two interview with six different interviewers on a three hour schedule.

Question 1
Most difficult piece of all was not being asked any technical questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BBVA (New York, NY) in Nov 2019
Interview
I had an initial phone screening followed by another phone interview. From there, I was invited to interview with the entire team in person in New York. I met with all of the team members and was asked a series of behavioral and technical questions.
I thought the interview went fine and I only stumbled on a few technical accounting questions, but was told that they were just seeing what I currently know and didn't expect me to have any accounting knowledge because the job was entry level.
I still have not received any contact post interview and have been ignored by HR after following up twice within a span of 3 weeks. I feel it is very unprofessional to not follow up with someone you flew in for a final round interview. Also, the fact that I have not been contacted whatsoever, not even a rejection email, is just disrespectful and is telling of the kind of culture that BBVA has in the United States.

Question 1
Why BBVA? Tell me about yourself? Can you tell me about a company you have looked at their financial statements? Accounting technical questions.
