I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC in Apr 2014

1st Interview - On the phone. Asked questions about your experience and why you want the position etc.
2nd Interview - Group. Written behavioural questions, presentations on how well you think on your feet (random topics), a dragon's den type pitch at the end on a random product they give you.
3rd Interview - Why you want to work for the department. Technical questions & judging for good fit on their team.

Question 1
How would you handle it if your colleague is scheduled to work from home, but you find out he/she is doing non work-related matters during office hours?
It was straight forward, had motivational questions and a technical round leetcode style. Last round had 3 interviews and each asked different behavioural questions and technical questions, the hiring team were interactive, supportive and helpful
HR was fantastic! I had a good interview - I would advise candidates to prepare by getting the basic interview questions down, then they should be all set. Nothing caught me off guard.
