Interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC Holdings (Eastbourne, England) in November 2018.
Interview
Great experience, 3 stages, problem solving, situational interview questions and a roleplay exercise. They rather expect you to talk about role relevant situations. Show how nice you are and the good things that you have done in order to handle role relevant situations. Talk less about your academic achievements.

Other Customer Service Consultant interview reviews for HSBC
I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC in Sept 2025
Interview
Zoom meeting to which the interviewers were late. Making odd facial expressions while I gave my answers. They said they would let me know the outcome within the next 2-3 weeks. I waited a month and checked myself and my application was unsuccessful. Very poor form

Question 1
Explain a time you went above and beyond for a customer
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HSBC (Lewisham, England) in Sept 2025
Interview
Went straight from online application to a 1 to 1 interview with the person in charge of all south London branches. Brief getting to know you like why did you apply, how did you get here today then about 7 competency questions.
Should last for an hour, told me after 1st competency question my answers were too short. Try to speak for 5 mins per question using STAR format.
Seemed concerned with my commute time, indicated possibility of successful candidate being placed in a branch closer to their home and that they would have a meet and greet with the actual branch manager to check culture fit as next step. Successful candidate would have been contacted within few days.
Did take a photocopy of passport but didn't check the other documents you're asked to bring to the interview.
