I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HSBC in Dec 2009
Interview
There was a telephonic interview for eligibility and interest check. This was followed by a face-to-face meeting with the HR head. Next was a VC withe the Global VP (HR) which was over an hour long. All meetings were on schedule and conducted very professionally.
