BNP Paribas interview questions

Took a phone screening from HR, received an interview pretty quickly. By the end of the week I was told I was a finalist. I received a verbal offer early the next week only to have it pulled within a day because “a senior stakeholder declined to authorize it.” Hilariously incompetent and unprofessional hiring process- Why give verbal offers if they’re not authorized? I would be livid if I had put in my two weeks, but it is unsurprising to see such a lack of ethics in the finance industry. Just more of the guys up top throwing their weight around to suit their own ego.

I believe the application process consists of 1) Online application (CV, grades, extracurriculars), 2) Online Tests, 3) Video Interview? 4) Assessment Centre. For some reason I only submitted an online application in October then got invited to an assessment centre without any tests or other Interviews. The Assessment Centre consistent of: 1) A 10 minute maths test - quite intense, you cant really prepare for this 2) A group sales exercise - You are given some information then asked to discuss then present an investment recommendation to a client. You are observed the whole way through, particularly how you discuss amongst each other. 3) Group trading game 4) 15 minute interview - Very casual, just questions about CV experience Overall, a very easygoing experience in comparison to other ACs.
