Good. Gives equal opportunities to every employee. Things are in good shape as of now. I got recruited from college and it was a wonderful experience. This site gives a good platform to express my gratitude to this company.
Other Senior Software Engineer Interview Reviews for HSBC
It was okayish, not very difficult, They just take average interviews. Basic React and Java script questions only, They ask Limited and easy level leetcode DSA questions. It wont be that difficult to crack if you have your basics cleared in the first place.

Question 1
Basic Js questions and react questions mostly related to hooks
I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Kraków) in Dec 2025
Interview
2 technical interviews (1 onsite + 1 online). Questions mostly about Java, Spring, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and REST APIs. Doing some pair programming for fixing a faulty API. They expressed their enthusiasm about my joining the team, but they suddenly ghosted me. After I sent some emails requesting clarification, they replied 2 months later, informing me that the role had been put on hold. Totally unprofessional.
