BNP Paribas interview questions

They already knew me from extensive activity in another group which liaised regularly with the technology department. I was suggested by our COO of the Americas for the position. He asked me a number of questions and already knew me well. The biggest hurdle was moving from our Midtown Manhattan offices to our back office building in Jersey City, NJ. Due to the benefits, title and compensation I accepted. I really loved working for BNP Paribas even though I am aware they pay a bit below market but I had 5 weeks of paid vacation a year and received a very acceptable (to me) annual bonus. This was an Information Technology position, reporting to the CIO.

initial communication by phone; then an interview with HR, followed by an interview with the potential supervisor and his manager. The interview was highly technical due to the job posting and required from me to provide examples on how to deal with specific tools required for the job. It was a formal environment and I had to demonstrate proficiency in spoken French and English.
