I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Société Générale (London, England) in July 2016
Interview
Technically and pragmatic. Questions on hedge strategies and grec attribution. Personality screening and career plan are asked. 30 words are a lot for one question. This is what I have to say. Thank you.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Société Générale (Paris)
Interview
technical questions about finance, risk, code. Before, a simple presentation has been made, and an introduction to the job offer too, with questions about the position and my background in finance & programming.
Total 4 rounds of interviews. First one was easy, and next two were harder and more technical. Hard questions on options pricing theory and intermediate questions on python. Final was more of HR round in which team fit and salary was discussed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

2 entretiens de 30 minutes en 1h, avec deux analystes. Fit + technique. Rien de trop challengeant. Parcours / pourquoi ce poste / ambitions. Les deux entretiens étaient assez similaires.
