I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England)
Interview
Very bad candidate experience. It’s not just the branding of the company but I guess you could do much better with the candidate experience. I have received an invite to complete the online assessment, after 2 days I got an email requesting for availability for the initial call with the recruiter. I have sent them the availability and for 2 days there was no response, I followed up, the recruiter got back to me mentioning she could do a time outside of my availability. I have accommodated that. After the interview was scheduled, I received a auto rejection email. I got in touch with the recruiter and HSBC recruitment team to understand the situation. No reply from them yet, it’s been 5 days now.
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

Initial Screen: A 30-minute introductory phone/video call with an HR recruiter to review your motivation, soft skills, and career goals.
Technical & Managerial Rounds: 1-on-1 or panel interviews with line managers or Managing Directors. These heavily test my financial acumen and industry knowledge.
