I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC in Jan 2014
Interview
This was for a consulting position. I was contacted by a recruiter for interview. When I went in I met the VP the questions were the general interview questions such as talking about my resume. Then she called another VP who I would be supporting and we had an interview over the phone. After the interview I thought it was fine and then the recruiter told me since it is a consulting role it usually moves fast. Towards the end of the week I was contacted by the recruiter that I got the position.
There are four rounds from personality to intro, case and final round, not particularly tricky but to test the thinking. Very quick process if you are able to make the time
