I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC in Dec 2014
Interview
tough but the interviewer makes you feel at home, mostly question based on competencies and customer experiences, test was hard to crack, not lengthy process good communication, i forget my documents but still they were excellent.
There was three stages. The first two were online and provided some interview questions that had to be recorded. The rest of the questions were stimulation based and office scenarios.
Asked several behavioural questions. Technical questions are straightforward. Asked about views on markets. Nice experience overall. Good compensation. Be confident to pitch stocks. The interview lasts for 30 minutes, on site.
the interview process involved different interviews, mix between technical and competency, included a paired presentation, role play, technical interview, skills based interview and a reflection interview at the end. there were 4 different interviewers.
