I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HSBC (Edimburgo, Escocia) in Sep 2015
Interview
Comprehensive competency question session with peer level, intense but good thought provoking questions. Interviewers very competent and seemed to follow a high internal standard, with what appears to be close liaison across other managers and different departments. Environment seemed busy but ordered within a new office set up. All employees from reception on seemed very professional and happy in their work.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What process change have you previously been most proud of?
the overall interview is totally a happy one, no harsh time
the time that i have an interview with is a one to one personal interview with the line manager
Doesn't explain why they rejected, interviewer sounds dismissive. When asked for reason, they did not get back nor explain the reason for rejection. I think it is important to have common courtesy
Online interviews
Asked a lot of situational questions and questions about my working experience and history.
Interviewer didn’t share much about the current team and reason of hiring.
The interview is around 1.5hr long.
