I applied through other source. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Mumbai) in Sep 2017
Interview
The head of the department reached out on Linkedin for a suitable opening in the Risk team which he will be newly forming in Mumbai India.
No level/JD was shared with me while i had already shared my updated resume with the team. However was assured that i am the right candidate and the HR will call you soon etc etc.
After September, the head was in Mumbai and took a face to face round, post giving a feedback he confirmed that we will take this ahead and look forward to you etc.
There was a long silence from October to December last week, where i was informed that i will need to see a VP at the office for a final round of discussions.
I see her and the discussion went on for 2 hours almost and then i dont hear from both the VP and Head on the next actions.
All of a sudden one night i get a call and the head informs that we cannot go ahead with the offer as your experience levels are less than what the roles requires.
After waiting for 4 months without actively looking at any other job and hearing this kind of feedback was so unprofessional and not expected from a company brand like BNP Paribas.

As an associate candidate, interviewers are likely to ask more technical questions around valuation and due diligence processes.
HR was the unexpected element when they would try to bargain your entry pay down by finding whatever perceived weakness in your CV.

Question 1
Run through a fundamental valuation model.
Motivations to join the company.
Very technical, great detail and less competency focus. Overall positivity experience but could be more structured in content. Perhaps is role specific for technology teams. Knowledge of tech stack is focused upon full stack understanding is tested.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas in Jan 2022
Interview
3 phase interview. The overall interview process went really well and I loved the team and everyone interviewed with.
The recruiter was ver responsive and addressed all the questions I had.
I however could not shake off the feeling of being lowballed. Offer was increased immediately hence confirming my suspicion however the damage was already done.
