First you got job simulation where I believe I get a high matching score so that I was in for a phone interview. During the phone interview, bunches of behavioral questions were asked, that was easy. And then there is assessment day where you need to meet the team one by one, there are so many stress testing but you need to stay calm to face it. Overall, it was intensed but enjoying.

Question 1
Why HSBC?
Whats the recent market news you follow?
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.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong)
Interview
Online application, cognitive and situational online assessment, timed job simulation and video response, then the final assessment centre with group tasks, case studies, and one-on-one interviews—all testing skills, teamwork, and alignment to HSBC values.
