      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      10 May 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Pune
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Jun 2008

      Interview

      first there was an QA test then one to one technical interview and then HR round. All happened on same day. some times they take telephonic interview as well. Over level of difficuly was easy. questions were not asked in depth. Interview for HSBCGLT does not require high level of technical knowlede. People--are friendly. work life balance is present in almost all projects. But if you are looking for challenges then this company is not the right place. Some times you can feel that more time is spent on CSR and team building activities then work. Work does not demand in depth knowledge of technology. Now a days hikes are not much if you are already drawing huge packages, even you outperform others.

      I interviewed at HSBC (Pune)

      Interview

      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.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.
