I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Jun 2012
Interview
I was called by an HSBC HR person and set up a in person interview within two days. I was seen by two members of the team I would be working for, including the team leader.
I did not get a positive vibe from the outset, though necessarily bad either. They did not seem like they wanted to be interviewing people nor experienced at doing so. The questions they asked were very routine:
"What do you know about the Patriot Act?"
"Why should we hire you"
"describe yourself in three adjectives".
I was already working at HSBC as a contractor in a related area so they knew I could do the job.
Left off with "we will let the hiring manager know our impressions".
There were total 4 rounds. One was assessment, then telephonic, One face to face and then HR round. So don't worry you will crack it If you prepare well. Below i will share few questions please learn and understand them.
Interview questions [1]

1. What is Aml? 2. Money laundering stages with examples. 3. What is pep and it's type. 4. What is drug trafficing. 5 Type of risk.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at HSBC in Apr 2022
Interview
The interviewers were nice, shared a lot about their experiences in the company. They asked some technical questions to see your thought process on Transaction Monitoring. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
Smooth and good, it was more of a discussion rather than asking questions. Didn't go much into details as it is for fresher role. 2 rounds of interiew is conducted and both are technical.
