I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Jul 2016
Interview
The process tool entire day : 9AM to 6PM. After getting a chance to get interview at 5 PM, I was selected. and they told me HR person will contact you, After a week, I got call from HR. I did not give me what I asked for.
Pathetic. Do not join hsbc unless and untill you are very desperate for a job.
Process is at snail's pace.. HR's are very arrogant and rude..Payscale is below market standard. They do not respect your time and efforts.

Question 1
What measures have you taken in your past projects to ensure system and data security?
It was okayish, not very difficult, They just take average interviews. Basic React and Java script questions only, They ask Limited and easy level leetcode DSA questions. It wont be that difficult to crack if you have your basics cleared in the first place.

I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Kraków) in Dec 2025
Interview
2 technical interviews (1 onsite + 1 online). Questions mostly about Java, Spring, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and REST APIs. Doing some pair programming for fixing a faulty API. They expressed their enthusiasm about my joining the team, but they suddenly ghosted me. After I sent some emails requesting clarification, they replied 2 months later, informing me that the role had been put on hold. Totally unprofessional.
