3. First Interview
This may be a one-on-one conversation with a recruiter, hiring manager, or team lead.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2018
Interview
Long but concise questions
1st stage phone
2nd stage in 1:1
3rd stage with 2 managers
4th stage background checks and then they rolled the offer letter took about 2 months. One needs to be patient
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at HSBC (Calcutta) in Jan 2015
Interview
Lengthy 4 rounds interview, but overall interview is not difficult. Average general knowledge questions, IT skills and aptitude test. Also they ask questions about your educational and professional experiences. So overall a lengthy but average interview process.
