I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Las Vegas, NV) in Jan 2012
Interview
Two phone interviews with analyst managers where you get a few HR questions. But the questions are mostly technical/case questions. Was invited to an in-person interview next week. It was a full-day process, I was welcomed by a manager who interviewed me on the phone. He interviewed me again for 30mins and sent me to 7 other managers (30mins with each person). I was taken to lunch between my interviews (casual lunch, with 2 analysts). Was offered the next day and accepted it immediately.

I got a phone interview from a member in the team. I was asked several questions, mainly on Excel and SAS macro. The signal was really bad and I asked the interviewer to repeat several times.
