I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Jan 2011
Interview
The interview process was smooth and conversational. The interview was with the Vice President and Branch Head. I was asked about resume walk, about my past job roles and responsibilities. I was also asked about the current trends in the wealth management industry, how are the various economies doing and what is the correlation between the different economies. I was also asked about my fit to the role that I am applying to and my strengths and weaknesses.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Singapore) in Mar 2021
Interview
An hour interview which was very focused and professional. The SVP asked specific questions about the skills sets , motivation for joining the Financial Institution industry, the key strength and weakness.
Fairly simple and straight forward. Went through three rounds of interviews of different standards. Some were more candid discussions, while others were focussed on product knowledge. Overall a good experience. Only the HR took a long time coming around.
