I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Hongkong) in Nov 2017
Interview
The first task was something related to implement a system which takes one to two weeks to complete. I was shocked at first since this was the first time I needed to work on a task which requires so much effort and time before even the first interview. This is the part which I think scares most of the other candidates away since not everyone have time for this. The second round was to interview with a team head. This is a mix of general questions and technical questions as he asked me to also demonstrated the system that I designed. The interviewer looks nice but he was actually observing you. There are two more rounds of interviews which makes this process too long compared to other companies. I failed at this round of interview and I got some feedback about my poor formatting of my presentation slides, which I just showed two pages during the interview and I do not think this really makes sense. All in all, the application process is so long as you need to work on a super long assessment task before the first interview and they cared about every single detail of the interview.
