I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong) in Feb 2017
Interview
App test -> Phone interview -> Assessment Centre which consists of group discussion (case study) and 2 rounds of behavioural interviews.
If I could turned the clock back, I would have prepare more on the case study (CFA material).
The overall experience is so so I could say. It is hard to stay focus throughout the whole assessment day. Six hours is too long an interview process.

Smooth and friendly assessors made everything easier. The general themes are mainly regarding company core values, examining your problem solving capabilities, how you approach the current bank issues. If you do some research beforehand you will be fine.
