I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England)
Interview
2 Interviewers, 1 video , 1 present. Read through my CV and just asked very basic questions about my previous experience. The interview was supposed to be competency based. The whole process took 9 weeks and at the end of it they said the role was no longer available as they were restructuring. What kind of company says this to a candidate. There was no feedback whatsoever. What a waste of time and effort for everyone involved. This is not the first time I have heard of HSBC doing this. I even know agencies that avoid HSBC for the same reason. They don't even have a formal candidate feedback system and they are the largest bank in the world
