I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at HSBC (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2014
Interview
Phone interview, online assessment, onsite panel interview. The whole process was straight forward but the response time from the company was quite long. It took them a month to get back to me regarding the hiring decision.

Question 1
Nothing unusual, behavioural questions are all straight out from the books. They are looking for a good fit for the company, so just be your polished self.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong)
Interview
The entire process took 5 weeks+. I applied to the HK office and the lady who interviewed me had terrible English. So terrible that I couldn't really understand what she was saying. Overall, I think the interview process was a negative experience.
