I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at BNP Paribas in May 2011
Interview
Interview process was standard where I met with a manager and the department manager. Questions asked were intuitive to derivatives and investment banking products and strategies. The interview took place face to face with both individuals and on the same meeting day. This was convenient not having to make multiple trips. I received a job offer promptly after the meeting which was great not having to wait around for days or weeks for feedback.
