I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
The process was not very tedious and we were all given good space to relax and prepare mentally while the other candidates were being interviews. The test was easy and the preparation has to be rigorous. One needs to be aware of the financial terms and their meanings
Describe yourself in 2 min. You should introudce yourself in short and talk more about your own experience. You should never out of focus and loss focus in the meeitng
the interview process was very quick and simple they did not go into detail regarding what the role is about they just asked why i wanted to join hsbc and one other question, it ended in 10minutes
The interview and the interviewers were really friendly and warm, especially for a student with not much experience. The process may be daunting but the interview was good. the questions were mainly about fit questions so just be aware of yourself.
