I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC in May 2021
Interview
Applied online, completed the assessment a week after. About a week after the assessment, got an email about an interview tomorrow. After the interview, I waited for two months while still checking in on a regular basis. Got an email asking for salary expectations from the outsourced portion of HR. After the whole two months process, they just sent me a generic rejection.
There are four rounds from personality to intro, case and final round, not particularly tricky but to test the thinking. Very quick process if you are able to make the time

after the aptitude they ghosted me and when i reached out for support they said there is no such positions, it was horrible experience, i didnt get any update after sharing my info
Initial Screen: A 30-minute introductory phone/video call with an HR recruiter to review your motivation, soft skills, and career goals.
Technical & Managerial Rounds: 1-on-1 or panel interviews with line managers or Managing Directors. These heavily test my financial acumen and industry knowledge.
