Applied online , went on to take online test and found out I had passed that. A few weeks later I was asked to book a phone interview , the phone interviewer was extremely pleasant , asked a few questions about my background , then went on to explain HSBCs values and proceeded to ask two competency based questions. I found out straight away that I had passed the phone interview so I knew I had a face to face interview. About a month passed and I was invited to my face to face interview , I arrived at HSBC was taken into a small room and was asked around eight scenario questions which lasted around an hour. Overall it would have been a positive experience if it had not taken so much time , the whole process ended up taking around 2 + months.
