I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Kraków) in Aug 2025
Interview
Involves an initial application and online assessment, followed by a video interview or assessment centre, and sometimes a technical or manager interview, epending on the role and level. Key stages often include an initial screening, aptitude and behavioural tests, and final interviews focused on demonstrating specific skills and knowledge using real-life examples and the STAR method.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you think HSBC is the right company for you?
The company has way too many rounds of assessments, which I found exhausting. Ultimately, I was rejected because my résumé didn’t meet their requirements. However, I believe the résumé screening should have been done before sending me the assessments, not afterward.
