I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Jul 2010
Interview
The interview process was quite smooth, a former worker referred me to a position and set-up a phone interview. 5 days later I came to NY to interview face-to-face with the first interviewer (my soon to be future boss) and 2 more people. 4 days later I received the job offer. At HSBC it is unusual such a quick process. I was lucky to be interviewing with a more forward and efficient manager.
The hiring process took months. HR asked me to send the same documents many times. And e-mail after e-mail they asked me to send new documents as well. HR super disorganized, slow, inefficient.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No hard question, just straight forward ones. Describe your career, why do you want to move to NY, where do you see yourself working in the next 5 years.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Feb 2009
Interview
After screening of the profile, have received a call for a possible date and time when I can have a short discussion for my experience andexposure. It was a telephonic interview and was enquired about my Project exposure, experience in various projects, my team management skills, leadership abilities, project management and how I have refined processes or practices to acheive more efficiency.
