I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Mumbai) in May 2013
Interview
There where many applicants ,,so all where give cognitive test,group discussion and personal interview. Based on your performance in group discussion was invited for the interview on the same day. Received an offer letter in mail. Very good exp.
It was over the phone, and I was asked several questions regarding my background and experience. It took 30 minutes, and the interviewer asked me some follow-up questions as well
The interview is short, the interviewer is nice and friendly. Ask about working expereince and future plan. I am not sure if the interviewer likes me or not, but generally is a good interview experience.
Face to face interview where numerous competency based questions were asked.
Two people conducted the interview, one person asked the questions and the other took notes.
Enough opportunity was given to think ahout the answers and ask any questions as well.
