J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez HSBC (Pune) en oct. 2023
Entretien
Interviewer was very experienced in mainframe & cloud (20 years ex). He was more focused on cloud technologies, less on other stuff like cp/dsa. Given me question and immediately after my answer gave me satisfactory answers. Grilled me on my cloud-knowledge, luckily I had a project in my resume so i survived there. Apart from this i would suggest have atleast 1 big project that you can explain in-depth for a lot of time, like in my case out of 45 min of interview atleast 20-25 min i spoke on my projects & interviews and my contributions there. Rest were some basic core-questions and then results were told just after the interview by other team members (selected or not). Some of my friends had system-design heavy interviews. Luck matters!
It is based on the interviewer My interview experience was good but i am not selected and they covered all the basics and covers all points in resume basics of sql python questions and basic coding and also operating system questions networking questions

Once you clear online assessments, the on-campus interview rounds begin.
Technical Interview:
Self-introduction, discussion of your project(s) and resume. Then there were questions on OOPs, sorting algorithms, data structures, basic system design questions (entities, classes) and some easy puzzles.
If you clear this round, then you will have the HR round directly.
Questions like: Tell me something not on your resume, Why HSBC, past teamwork/leadership, how you deal with pressure or conflicting feedback.
The interviewers were generally friendly from my experience and from the experience of other candidates too.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
One of the questions they asked was:
“Walk me through a technical challenge you faced in a project and how you solved it.”
I described a performance issue I encountered while building a web application, where inefficient database queries slowed response time. I walked through how I identified the bottleneck using logs and query profiling, optimized the queries using indexing, and validated improvements through testing.
They wanted to evaluate structured problem-solving, clarity of thought, and ability to translate technical work into business value.
