I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (London, England) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview was with the HR and it was very straight forward, included only competency based and market awareness questions. It lasted around 20 minutes and I received an answer after 1 week.
I was given the possibility to choose the date and time of the day for the interview.

Question 1
Why did you apply to BNP Paribas? Tell me about a recent event happening on fin. markets
I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Singapur) in Feb 2015
Interview
Long. Very long. Applications closed in October, and I heard from them only in late February the next year. Went through 3 rounds, which took another 10 weeks. HR was very incapable, sometimes sarcastic, which no one appreciates. If this was any indication of how BNP treats their employees, I'm glad that I didn't get through to the next round.
