I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at HSBC (Singapur) in Apr 2013
Interview
There was an initial phone interview followed by an assessment center. In the assessment center, there was a group discussion session where it is essential to speak up while at the same time, avoid being overly assertive. Be very open to the ideas of everyone and lead the discussion. Need to establish a presence in the group session.
5 questions interview with questions like how did you manage multiple deadlines, what skills you have, miscommunication with teammates, handle conflicts etc. and answer the questions in mandarin, Cantonese and English

Question 1
How would you handle it if your colleague is scheduled to work from home, but you find out he/she is doing non work-related matters during office hours?
HR was fantastic! I had a good interview - I would advise candidates to prepare by getting the basic interview questions down, then they should be all set. Nothing caught me off guard.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why you are interested in the summer internship?
It was straight forward, had motivational questions and a technical round leetcode style. Last round had 3 interviews and each asked different behavioural questions and technical questions, the hiring team were interactive, supportive and helpful
