I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC (City of London, England) in Nov 2011
Interview
I applied online and did the online psychometric test, numerical and verbal tests. After that there was the phone interview in which several competency questions were asked. The phone interviewer spoke really fast but was very pleasant to talk with. After the phone interview, I was put on hold for several minutes while they did an on-the-spot evaluation to decide the outcome. Depending on whether you are successful or unsuccessful you will be informed immediately and you can choose to receive feedback in which they will tell you in detail on which segment of the interview were they not satisfied with your answer. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Question 1
What did you do at a time where you had to pay special attention to a person?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HSBC (São Paulo, ) in Apr 2009
Interview
They asked me personal type questions and motivation, basic following my resume line.
They didn't asked me specific questions about credit policies, or anything related to payroll loans. They just needed somebody "hands on", so it they wouldn't care about specific knowledge.
The position was offered by the end of the interview (3 analystis), and I have to come back in the following day to talk to the senior manager.
