I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Richmond, BC) in Feb 2016
Interview
The first round of interview was a panel interview, meeting with a ORA and a AMORA. They asked basic questions and more behavioural questions, to make sure that the candidate's skills and personalities allow him/her to be a good fit for the company/position. The second round of interview was meeting with the Branch Manager. He wanted to make sure that the candidate could provide professional and excellent customer service, and possess strong communication skills while doing cross-sale.
