I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
Interview
3 rounds of interview. 1 take home task. Range of question from java collections, DS, new java features, angular, Javascript, multithreading and databases. Writing code, finds bugs in other codes, understanding chinesse as interview talking in Chinese while I was solving the problem. One of the worst interview experiences had in ages. Dumbest interviewer that I have seen In my life. Kept hoping on requirements and trying to be smart.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Code for Pattern matching and file reading and mapping.
It was okayish, not very difficult, They just take average interviews. Basic React and Java script questions only, They ask Limited and easy level leetcode DSA questions. It wont be that difficult to crack if you have your basics cleared in the first place.

I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Kraków) in Dec 2025
Interview
2 technical interviews (1 onsite + 1 online). Questions mostly about Java, Spring, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and REST APIs. Doing some pair programming for fixing a faulty API. They expressed their enthusiasm about my joining the team, but they suddenly ghosted me. After I sent some emails requesting clarification, they replied 2 months later, informing me that the role had been put on hold. Totally unprofessional.
