The process took 12 months. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Sep 2023
Interview
Online process with a HireVue interview. Absolutely a waste of time. I did great on the interview and was hopeful for an opportunity... over a year ago. That's correct - it has been over a year since I applied and they just processed my application. I am already in a new position somewhere else with no interest in a firm that treats prospective employees this way. Do not waste your time.

Question 1
What got you interested in pursuing a career in Finance?
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.

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.
