Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why HSBC, why chosen division, why should we hire you, tell me about a time you managed a complex task
Took a few weeks to the interview process. It was a telephone interview which was basically competency and motivation based. A lady asked me around 7questions in total which lasted 30mins long. Most of the questions are not difficult to answer but you need to prepare for as many examples as possible!! Those competency questions are quite similar and are mostly designed to assess your interpersonal skills, such like how you would behave when others in your team disagreed with you.

Interview
Online form, plus numerical and logical reasoning tests. Had a telephone interview a few weeks later which was really simple but not pleasant. Received an email that I passed the benchmark 30 minutes after the phone interview and was invited to AC afterwards.
