I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Nov 2008
Interview
You meet with the line manager, the reporting manager, and the managing director. The line manager and the reporting manager generally ask you the same types of questions regarding skills and what you have to offer. The second round of interviews is with the managing director who tells you about the corporate culture and asks you why you want to join the company.
