I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
Straight forward, asked me about current events and my background. I applied through our on campus system and got an interview on campus as well with alumni that worked at BNP and other members of the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is one thing that will affect the markets this week?
overall quite easy, AC was finished within a day, consisting of 1 group + 2* 1 v 1 interviews. HR could be more efficient. Heard of stories of them ghosting candidates.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (New York, NY)
Interview
If you passed the resume screening, you were interviewed over the phone by one to two members of the team. Most of the question focused on soft skills and personality questions. After that I was invited to a super day (which also had a heavy soft skill focus with 1-2 technical questions).

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (London, England)
Interview
Application screening then psychometric tests and behavioural tests followed by Hirevue and telephone interview. Successful candidates are then progressed to Assessment Centre after which offers are given out. Hirevue was relatively easy with generic questions such as why BNP, why div, what do you hope to learn.
