J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. J'ai passé un entretien chez HSBC en oct. 2024
Entretien
We had a panel of experts from different fields. Based on their expertise and your resume, the questions vary.
For instance, one panelist asked about projects mentioned in the resume, the other asked about extra curricular activities you participated in, some were asking DSA questions and in-depth technical concepts, few were asking SQL in depth.
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.

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.
