The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

The interview process went well and the questions were engaging and thought-provoking. Even though I didn't make it past the second round, it was a valuable learning opportunity and showed me what I need to work on.Candidate-reported process
So first you do the online application, then there's like a cognitive and situational online assessment, then a timed job simulation and video response. After that, it's the final assessment centre which includes group tasks, case studies, and one-on-one interviews. They're all about testing your skills, teamwork, and if you align with HSBC values.Candidate-reported process
The interview process involved two written tests conducted on campus. Following the written assessments, there were two interviews at the Hyderabad office. One interview was technical, focusing on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), complexities, and coding. The other interview was with HR, covering basic self-introductions and related questions.Candidate-reported process
