I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at HSBC (Leeds, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
Lots of online assessment centre work before being invited to any tangible interview. Still waiting for a response seems that there its lots of competition for work placement roles this year.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why does the company's values align with what you're looking for in a company
The interview process was smooth and well-structured. It consisted of multiple rounds (4rounds), including an initial HR screening followed by 2 technical and 1 managerial interviews. The interviewers were professional, friendly, and focused on assessing problem-solving skills, business analysis knowledge, communication, and relevant work experience. The questions were practical and role-specific, and the overall experience was positive. The process took longer than expected, but communication from the recruitment team was courteous throughout.
