I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNP Paribas (Chennai) in May 2015
Interview
Applied through staffing agency. First round was face to face discussion. Questions were simple. The interviewer concentrated basically around Java Collections Framework. There was one programming problem where the Interviewer asked me to sort a List of Employee class based on experience and if the experience is same, use Name as the sorting criteria. This process took about 45 minutes and I was told that I would be contacted if I had cleared this round. I got a call from the staffing agency for the 2nd round of telephonic discussion. This was an extensive round and took about 1.5 hrs. Questions were asked from Core Java (very detailed), Java Swing, Current application I was working on etc. I got selected for this round and was called for the 3rd round which was manager's round. Questions were mostly related to my studies, current project. He then said that there would be one final round on the same day and the Interview panel was located in France. This was a technical discussion where the questions were asked from Core Java, Database, Spring, Swing and JPA. Finally I was called for HR round after a couple of days.

Interview
In total, there were three rounds of face-to-face (in-person) interviews. The first two rounds were with different members of the team, where I had the opportunity to discuss my skills, experience, and how I could contribute to their projects. The final round was with the hiring manager, which involved a more in-depth conversation about team dynamics, expectations, and long-term goals within the role.
