I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BBVA (Madrid) in May 2022
Interview
El proceso de entrevista para M&A en BBVA es complejo debido a su rigurosidad técnica, expectativas de conocimientos financieros detallados y evaluación estratégica profunda. Recomiendo revisar manuales de BIWS para una preparación sólida en modelado financiero y comprensión analítica, esenciales para el éxito.
3 interviews, with hr and a manager. As well as a cognitive exam and 2 tests of English and Spanish, to evaluate listening and writing. I have a final final interview with the MD
First stage is psychometric tests, followed by interview with HR and then final interview with a team that you're assigned to. Mostly behavioural and situational questions and interviewers were on the whole warm and amicable.
I applied online. I interviewed at BBVA (London, England) in May 2025
Interview
3 rounds - first being with hr, then interviews with the rest of team. Associates and final with the head of the desk. Remember being asked questions on fundamentals such as how do bonds work and recent market news event.
