I came about 5 minutes early. the interview process was very straightforward and I like the person interviewing me. The questions were mostly about my experience, education and interests. Majority of questions were about how I deal with problems and communication at work, how I deal with the people I dislike at work etc. I asked a few questions in the end. Overall I had a positive experience and had an offer on the spot, but rejected it.

Question 1
I had to take some sort of test, but I'm not sure what exactly if I agreed to proceed with their hiring process.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong)
Interview
Relaxed and informative talk with head. Mostly was discussing interests and job perspectives, apart from general questions “Why”. Depends on the manager attitude, as other managers were asking technical questions and testing
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC (Singapore) in Aug 2021
Interview
The interview process for the online assessment was excellent and thought provoking. The online assessment was however really difficult, and I don't think it's good in filtering out good potential employees.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Beirut) in Jun 2015
