Interviewed with an agency before talking to HSBC. Asked a lot about the company values of HSBC and a few fit questions and market knowledge. The girl I interviewed with was French and her english was not the best. Hard to understand.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC

one HR round, superday with 3 MDs over zoom if you are not in the city, the questions are very standard and pretty much the same for all the candidate, it followed different themes
