I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Mar 2020
Interview
Phone interview was easy.
Face-to-face interview was difficult and only interviewed by just one person (usually there's a note taker) it made me feel a bit awkward.
Overall not a positive experience
Face to face interview, questions were okay to answer, was told I would hear back about next steps which would have been an online assessment against HSBC’s values but I never heard back from them.
Arranged an online interview within a week after submitting my application. I have been asked five questions and they are all all experience / situation base. Mostly around your experience in customer facing roles.
The interview process was fairly easy. I submitted an interview online then had a culture fit call, followed by an in person interview with a task and competency based questions.
