I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HSBC (Bengaluru) in June 2012
Interview
The Interview Process was very relaxed. It was a one on one interview with an executive who basically questioned me on my academic background and knowledge of accounting and finance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There weren't any difficult ones to be honest. They were all straightforward but I was just not in the right frame of mind.
