I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in May 2017
Interview
Competency based interview with questions followed by a panel interview by 3 people. First I was taken to a room where i was given a statement and had to calculate some simple accounts. It is important to carry your own pen and calculator. This was followed by a detailed questioning by a panel of three interviewers whom if successful I would have been working with directly
1st round: self intro with HR .
2nd round : some basic understanding of department campaign and some about the cv ( not very hard and takes about 30 min)
I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Milan) in Jun 2026
