Submitted an online application, that consisted of professional experience and short-answer questions, and had two virtual interviews. The first interview was with a recruiter, and the second was with the two most senior members on the team I ended up getting accepted to join.

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Nov 2023

Three interviews- all half another long. Each one asked three types of questions- technical, personality and company knowledge. Found this nice as it didn't mean each section was the same and a variety of questions were asked.
