I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Paris)
Interview
First interview is conducted by HR on the phone. Competency based questions solely, 30 minutes. Then she told me straight after the interview that I had passed and would be called for the assessment center if there were still vacancies available. Unfortunately there weren't anymore. I was redirected for a sales position but once again no luck, because all the positions were taken. So a bit frustrating.
