I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC in Aug 2009
Interview
Met with hiring manager in his office, and one team member in a conference room. Very good interview questions and there was equal give and take. Was going to meet with second team member but he was busy on a conference call. Was offered the position by HR within 2 days. Overall a very positive experience.
Quite a lot of people to meet. The interview is mostly focused on personality. There are some very high level on technical skills but pretty basic. Make sure you are on time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In unix, how do you search for files with specific name?
First was an initial screen call with HR rep. Then had an in person interview with the manager. Finally had a call with an employee to see if I was a good fit.
