I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Mumbai) in May 2010
Interview
Initially I had faced a telephonic interview, where 2 senior analysts interviewed me about my past profile and my work. They asked in detail about the sector knowledge, drivers, valuation etc. Then I got shortlisted and then interviewed by the Research Head in a one to one meeting. He also asked about the overall experiences I had with my previous profiles, sector knowledge etc. and then confirmed my selection.

Interview
Online immersive assessment where you watch Videos, and read extracts to derive information from. Use that info to calculate certain financial data related to the business simulation, Then a couple of situational judgement questions with options. Surprisingly no timer. But I assume there is some sort of timer in the backend checking how long it takes you to process info
