      Commercial Banking/Coop Interview

      25 Apr 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Montreal, QC
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Montreal, QC) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      First I completed an online test asking how I would act in various situations. Second I was called by a very friendly HR recruiter for a telephone interview that lasted about 40 minutes. He went through my resume and asked general personality and fit questions. Third I was called in for an interview during which I met briefly with the VP corporate finance after which I was interview by 2 Assistant VPs, one commercial banking relationship manager and one commercial banking associate. It felt more like a conversation than an interview. Each participant was smart, qualified and to put it simply, professionally inspiring. I was asked about my strengths, interests, opinion of the economic outlook... HSBC seems like a wonderful place to work. Unfortunately, I declined the internship offer for a more lucrative and permanent position at TD that seemed like the best option for my current career objectives.
