The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“The interview process took a long time, and I heard back after 8 months of applying. The HR person was really nice. I had an initial interview with HR, and then I was contacted by the HSBC partner.”Candidate-reported process
“The process is set up to test your skills in technical accounting, like how you do NAV calculations, financial reporting, and compliance. It also checks your soft skills, such as teamwork, communication, and adaptability. To do well, you really need to be prepped in both finance fundamentals and how to communicate.”Candidate-reported process
“The interview process was moderate in difficulty. They checked my understanding of accounting concepts, terms, and journal entries. Knowledge of mutual funds was also required for the role.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
