J'ai passé un entretien chez BNP Paribas en nov. 2014
Entretien
3 group interviews, one after the other, with 4 candidates in a group. The interviews were conducted by HR, Research and Debt Capital Markets representatives. Not technical, but competency and commercial awareness based. It took roughly 3 hours and that was the whole process of the assessment day. There were no individual nor group case studies.

If you passed the resume screening, you were interviewed over the phone by one to two members of the team. Most of the question focused on soft skills and personality questions. After that I was invited to a super day (which also had a heavy soft skill focus with 1-2 technical questions).

Application screening then psychometric tests and behavioural tests followed by Hirevue and telephone interview. Successful candidates are then progressed to Assessment Centre after which offers are given out. Hirevue was relatively easy with generic questions such as why BNP, why div, what do you hope to learn.
