HSBC Full Stack Developer interview questions

This was one of the most disappointing interview experiences I’ve had. One interviewer showed up 10 minutes late, then asked me to wait for the second interviewer—who never joined. No one followed up or acknowledged the issue. The remaining time was wasted on basic textbook-style questions like “Define X” and “What is Y,” despite being told the interview would focus on real-world experience. Worse, the questions were vague, and when I asked for clarification, the interviewer simply repeated the same question without any attempt to engage or explain. It felt like they had no real interest in conducting the interview. Given HSBC’s global reputation, I expected a far more professional and respectful process. This experience completely changed my perception of the company’s culture and engineering standards.
