I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
Two phone interviews and assessment centre in London. When signing up for an assessment centre you cannot be picky on the spot as they are all across the UK. Fortunately, you are able to have some sway in where you work and they value when candidates state that they are willing to go outside of the London bubble. They checked with my references after my interview to fact check the examples I used.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC
Interview
3 1-on-1 interview, with band 3, case study. They don't look at your CV, a set of standard private banking questions, both technical and behavioural, prepared by HR, pretty chill, you will also have a QA section, so be prepared
one HR round, superday with 3 MDs over zoom if you are not in the city, the questions are very standard and pretty much the same for all the candidate, it followed different themes
