  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Have to wait 2 weeks post internship completion to find out whether you've received a graduate job offer or not. Majority of banks tell you on the last day of the internship. However I believe HSBC normally offer a high % of interns a graduate job
