Question 1
How do you live up to the company values in your daily life?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC in Mar 2015
Interview
I applied online, answered their questions. Afterwards I was invited for two online tests (judgement + numerical numbers), which i passed. Afterwards they invited me for a telephone interview on a sunday (!). They told me it will last for approx. 40mins. They called 15mins late and told me: please answer short because they have more interviews this day with other candidates, no questions are allowed and everything will be written down + will be recorded.
The telephone interview was no dialogue or any kind of conversation. They asked one question, wrote my answer down and asked the next questions, without any comment on my answer.
I had my phone interview at 1pm and at 4pm I got an email: "after a careful consideration" they have elected another candidate.
