Marketing Planning at HSBC Holdings

No Offer – Interviewed in London, England (UK) – Reviewed May 03, 2013

Interview Details Applied for position online. A few days after the application was submitted, received a message asking that I sit an (online) verbal reasoning test. It was a pretty standard thing - 30 questions in 20 minutes. Nothing too taxing. A few days after completing the test, was invited to participate in a telephone interview which was booked online. A few days after booking the telephone interview received another message that I was not going to be selected for interview. Felt a bit strange to be told to go ahead and schedule an interview, and then be told "err, actually, no". Oh well!

Interview Question – Didn't get the opportunity to interact with a human. Everything was done online.   Answer Question
