I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Chesterbrook, PA) in Oct 2022
Interview
Great and friendly process throughout, A good balance of behavioral and technical questions, feedbacks were given at the end of each answer. The questions are very related to real market and historical economic events.

What was the cause of the 2008 global financial crisis?
Very technical for first round, asked a lot of mental math, bond math and brain teasers only one behavioural question which was tell me about yourself and why you applied
Did an online assessment and then an interview with a trader. Was not the easiest interview. Maths and brain teasers. The brain teasers specifically were not easy initially. Did not make it to the next round
Teams call with a director, Mixture of behavioural questions like why are you interested in markets, thoughts on ESG and also more maths/brain teaser questions like 3^6 and calculating percentage changes.
