I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Singapore) in Feb 2015
Interview
Long. Very long. Applications closed in October, and I heard from them only in late February the next year. Went through 3 rounds, which took another 10 weeks. HR was very incapable, sometimes sarcastic, which no one appreciates. If this was any indication of how BNP treats their employees, I'm glad that I didn't get through to the next round.

Question 1
A lot of technical questions + stuff related to past internship experiences
Very Straighfoward. Just dont get into topics you dont understand very well. Just be you, and it will go well. I did 2 interviews, each with a different business manager.

Question 1
Why do we use log returns when building a Monte Carlo engine to price financial derivates.
Scheduled with email, online interview, talked with a manager then two heads, overall friendly conversation. Only had one interview, no online test no video interview prior. Around an hour long for the two parts.
3 interviews, one with HR, and the last two with business managers/head of desks. Each interview lasted for 1 hour. Average difficulty for all 3 interviews, but depending on the technical knowledge you have, it can get harder.
