HSBC Analyst interview questions

Had my first two interviews about a month and a half apart. When I followed up I was told they weren't quite ready to start 3rd round (final for this role) interviews yet but my interviewer wanted to meet me for coffee. I was told that they had more than 10 people picked out for the final round so far and were still doing more second round interviews. Complete waste of time - no wonder the position had been open for 6 months at that point.
