The process began with submitting my resume through the official HBL careers portal, though an internal referral could also expedite things. Next, an HR screening via a phone call (around 15-20 minutes) was conducted to confirm resume details, salary expectations, and availability; it was very basic and professional. In some cases, a technical assessment or test was given, covering programming logic, database queries, and system design basics, using HackerRank or a custom HBL platform. Then, a technical interview happened, either virtually or at HBL Plaza, Karachi, with 2-3 panel members like a team lead and senior architect. Questions focused on the software development lifecycle, technologies on the CV, real-world problem-solving, system design, DevOps/CI/CD, and financial application experience (which was a plus). Lastly, a managerial or department head interview focused on project experience, communication, leadership, and culture fit, potentially including strategic questions like improving legacy banking systems or working with cross-functional teams.

The whole process was really smooth and fast, not too many hard questions. I had two interviews on their premises. First, I met with a panel of two HR recruiters. It was a very smooth and efficient process with only a few tough questions. The interviewers were professional and friendly, making it easy to talk. It was a positive and well-organized experience.

It was a 3 step process. Started with HR screening, then a chat with the Line manager, and ended with the HOD. It was quite easy, mostly asking about my past experiences, why I wanted to join, and my future academic and career goals.
