I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at HSBC
Interview
Gespräch wurde Wochen vorher durch die Personalabteilung per Telefon geplant. Im eigentlichen Gespräch folgten kurz Fragen zu einzelnen Punkten im CV (10 min). Danach ging es ziemlich schnell zu Fachfragen. Dabei folgte auf jede richtige Antwort eine noch schwerere Folgefrage. Zudem wurden häufig Diskussionen provoziert, sodass wohl auch soft skills (Durchsetzungsvermögen, Kompomissbereitschaft) getestet werden sollten.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC in Jun 2011
Interview
I applied on-line, and then they sent me an email. I had a brief phone interview, and then went to their office. There were several other candidates, and everyone was interviewed the same day. All the candidates were briefly shown the trading floor after the interview. I heard back from them a week after, to come in with the necessary documents.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Singapur) in Apr 2015
Interview
(Communications department in Singapore) It was about half an hour and it was more like a conversation than a interview. Interviewer was very patient and would steer conversation in the right direction if I was not answering your questions directly.
