I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
I applied online, got tests and then invited to the AC in the CIB hq, London.
Three rounds, 1 math test 2 exchange rate test and 3 1-1 interview with another analyst
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
At the AC we got first of all a math exercise (without calc), then exchange rate test (without calc as well) and finally 1 to 1 interview.
Math exercise was pretty good, exchange rate test quite hard and interview chilled, asking about macro stuff as well as few technical and brainteasers
A phone interview, followed by an HR interview, and by two technical interviews with one senior analyst each. Very smooth process. The interviewers were there to help you throughout the process.

Question 1
From the technical interviews, questions like: how does a call option price behave through the life of the option if the underlying stock price at each closing day is the same? Know the basics, and keep calm.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in Jan 2021
Interview
Quick and efficient interview with manager/team leader (second interview). Difficult brainteasers (out-of-the-box). The rest of the interview went smoothly.
HR interview seemed to standard and basic - the same questions people always ask.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR: Walk me through your CV / Why are you a good fit / What are your main skills / What are your main painpoints - quite generic and basic questions + in the middle of the interview language shifted from PT to ENG to get my English skills tested at the moment
Manager/ Team Leader: Walk me through your CV, technical questions about futures and options, asked about my excel proficiency, 1 brainteaser, tell me 1 thing you like about this sector and why BNP specifically
