      Graduate Program Interview

      Jan 19, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Montreal, QC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at HSBC (Montreal, QC) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      First needed to pass an Online Immersive Test, then conducted a Job Simulation Test if the previous test meets the benchmark. Then there was an extremely long waiting period before the next round of selection.. after 2-3 months of waiting, the bank just simply informed me that all the vacancies were filled within the program..

      Graduate Program Interview

      Apr 10, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC

      Interview

      Demoralizing process and did not feel like my time and efforts were respected at all. Applied mid-February and progressed to the JSA on 3 Mar. Both online assessments were extremely long and tedious to complete. After JSA, I was asked to submit my transcripts which I did promptly, then got ghosted for more than a month. Received a rejection early April which was over five weeks after completing the job simulation. They were apparent about not being able to provide feedback for the JSA. At this point it's less about the rejection than about the fact that you could've communicated better throughout the process and not hold anyone up. Extremely disappointing.

      I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      the secont stage of the application process is the Job assesment which asks to record some video answers. They will give you time to prepare, but it requires the applicants to think quickly of the correct answers.
