Interesting times for digital
Interesting times for digital
The brand and global spread.
Multiple business lines:
- Retail & Wealth Management
- Private
- Business
- Global Banking & Markets
Massive investment in digital.
Shallow reporting structure.
Clear strategy.
Lower than average employee engagement. Poor HR support. Low-balling on pay. Many admin functions devolved (e.g., HR, Procurement) with managers having to pick up the tasks. Big organization that needs skill navigating and joining up. Business lines could be better joined up digitally.
Show that you value your employees with better engagement. Be more action-oriented than just listening. Pay people what they are worth rather than just the lowest you can get away with.
Push and continue to push the digital agenda. The pace of change means that the great stuff in train now will constantly need to evolve to keep pace with competitors and disruptors.

HSBC Interview Experiences
Test Engineer
Easy. The company is still figuring out its processes. I got the offer but declined for a better-paid position. It was good for practicing interview skills. The company has some ethical issues.
AI Strategist
Straightforward process, had three rounds. Round 1: Online assessment. Round 2: Recorded interview. Round 3: Teams call with Manager and AI engineer. Got till the last round but got rejected without any feedback, even after asking.
MongoDB Database Administrator
Good, but felt tense due to the panel. There are too many people on the panel, and they ask about your experience and strong areas. I felt a bit tense due to the number of people on the panel, but it’s an easy one to crack.
