I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
1. Online test (calculus, stats, algorithms/complexity, financial math) - simple
2. Phone interviews with quantitative analysts( solving probabilities problem, pseudocode for finding function roots)
3. Still waiting to know if there will be a interview with people from artificial intelligence. Phone interview with HR. Process takes a lot of time .

Question 1
monte Carlo simulation and pseudocode , calculus, binary trees, stats
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Paris) in Oct 2017

Apres avoir rencontré le manager en soirée de recrutement, j'ai ete contacte pour passer un entretien. L'entretien s'est deroule dans un premier temps avec deux tests, un de logique et un quantitaif, et apres venu la presentation de l'entite et du poste,ma presentation et des questions sur le machine learning et sur des situtations qu'ils rencontrent
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BNP Paribas in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online through their site and was very quickly booked in for a technical phone interview the next week.
The interview itself was moderately difficult, but was made worse by taking place over arguably the world's worst phoneline with an interviewer with relatively poor English skills (leading to a lot of confusion with regards to word meanings etc.) and an incredibly heavy accent. The questions themselves were relatively challenging but were made more difficult by the interviewer providing wrong information when asked for clarification, which he would then backtrack on a short while later (this happened multiple times).
It honestly seemed a very amateur operation and I'd expect much better from a company as large as BNP Paribas.
