I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Mar 2014
Interview
Initially HR contacted on call and arranged for an interview on weekend.
1st round - written test (easy)
2nd round - technical interview (easy to moderate)
then I was said that I am put on hold since the requirement was full.
I was again contacted for a technical interview on next weekend.
3rd round - technical interview along with some general questions (very easy)
4th round - HR interview where in salary negotiation would happen. Believe me they are truly traders, they would fight for even 10k.
Contract interview, only 1-2 actual hires, rest is all contractor. In office/onsite. Legacy system, low level, linux, old banking software, included a lot of networking questions, low level, linux questions and things of that nature.
