I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview process was highly commendable. My concerned HR was Celestine Fernandes. He is the most humble,magnanimous and cooperative HR i have met till date.
I was very warmly welcomed by him.
He systematically arranged and managed things and not just doing things for the sake of doing.
He held strength in whatever he said.
I had two rounds. Written test and technical.
Technical was very good.
