I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC in Aug 2015
Interview
After an exchange of emails, you will be called for a screening interview on phone.
They will ask you about your education and experience.
The skills asked for during the phone interview did not correspond with the ones described on the job offer.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HSBC (Bengaluru) in Nov 2013
Interview
Stats focus, Mostly resume based interview questions. There were 3 rounds of interviews. First one was telephonic, Second was one to one taken by SVP. Third interview was taken by VP , again one to one.
Interview process took quite long time at one and a half months. I would say interview was not that difficult. But , certainly depends upon the team one is interviewing for.
