The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“Pleasant! I loved the entire process. I had three different interviewers at allocated times, all had at least 1 technical question which were not that difficult (if you know how to code that is)... but overall a wonderful experience.”Candidate-reported process
“It was an online video interview that lasted about 15 minutes. I had a 2-minute prep time in front of the camera to get ready. Once I recorded the video, I couldn't re-do it. The questions were pretty standard, like asking about my interest in HSBC and which of their values resonate with me.”Candidate-reported process
“It was a 4-stage process. We had exercises with other candidates, then a personal interview with 4 trainers in English and French. Then group exercises and individual ones, like writing a letter in English.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
