I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Dec 2009
Interview
HR person coodinating interviews forgot to send information on exact time and location of the in-person interview. HR person forgot to send email stating that I did not receive an offer. I only learned that I did not receive an offer after sending another follow-up to the people that I met. One interviewer had very negative comments about the company.
There are four rounds from personality to intro, case and final round, not particularly tricky but to test the thinking. Very quick process if you are able to make the time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behaviour questions like how to manage time under pressure
after the aptitude they ghosted me and when i reached out for support they said there is no such positions, it was horrible experience, i didnt get any update after sharing my info
Initial Screen: A 30-minute introductory phone/video call with an HR recruiter to review your motivation, soft skills, and career goals.
Technical & Managerial Rounds: 1-on-1 or panel interviews with line managers or Managing Directors. These heavily test my financial acumen and industry knowledge.
