HSBC Graduate Scheme Technology interview questions

Various stages including online immersive assessment, job simulation, and finally an assessment centre. Online immersive assessment and job simulation were both pretty similar to other company's. Not too difficult, often scenario-based questions. Assessment centre consisted of 3 micro-exercises and 2 interviews. Micro exercises lasted for only 15 minutes so felt like there was very limited time to impress assessors. Interviews were strength based and technical. Fine if you have done your preparation.

Submitted application online. Got contacted by recruiting company about two weeks later. Had to submit online numerical test within 24h. Had a telephone interview about my interest in technology and how technology can affect HSBC work (10min) with recruiter. A week later, had a telephone interview with similar topics plus motivation (about 45min). I thought I didn't pass, but they called me on friday of the same week and book me a place for the assessment centre the next monday. The AC is all day long, but the first test is a numerical reasoning test (on paper) and if you fail, you have to leave immediatly. Minimum score to pass is 15 out of 20. Sadly I failed that.
