I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Kraków) in Dec 2025
Interview
2 technical interviews (1 onsite + 1 online). Questions mostly about Java, Spring, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and REST APIs. Doing some pair programming for fixing a faulty API. They expressed their enthusiasm about my joining the team, but they suddenly ghosted me. After I sent some emails requesting clarification, they replied 2 months later, informing me that the role had been put on hold. Totally unprofessional.
