Trainee Software Engineer Interview Experience - India
Process
There was a written test conducted by "Meritrack" on behalf of HSBC GLT. It comprised general aptitude and some programming, followed by a technical round. And here came a blow to me: there would be 3 HR rounds. Let me tell you, HR for HSBC GLT is not going to be easy.
Questions
In the 3rd HR round, the HR asked me to talk about him for 2 minutes. When 2 minutes were completed, he said, "1 minute left," and prolonged it for 5 minutes. That was difficult and kind of unexpected.
