I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Singapore) in Mar 2021
Interview
An hour interview which was very focused and professional. The SVP asked specific questions about the skills sets , motivation for joining the Financial Institution industry, the key strength and weakness.
Fairly simple and straight forward. Went through three rounds of interviews of different standards. Some were more candid discussions, while others were focussed on product knowledge. Overall a good experience. Only the HR took a long time coming around.
