Demoralizing process and did not feel like my time and efforts were respected at all. Applied mid-February and progressed to the JSA on 3 Mar. Both online assessments were extremely long and tedious to complete. After JSA, I was asked to submit my transcripts which I did promptly, then got ghosted for more than a month. Received a rejection early April which was over five weeks after completing the job simulation. They were apparent about not being able to provide feedback for the JSA. At this point it's less about the rejection than about the fact that you could've communicated better throughout the process and not hold anyone up. Extremely disappointing.

Online application, cognitive and situational online assessment, timed job simulation and video response, then the final assessment centre with group tasks, case studies, and one-on-one interviews—all testing skills, teamwork, and alignment to HSBC values.
