Pros

Pretty much for fresh graduate. be confident. Show enthusiasm and that you are willing to learn. You can use this role as a stepping stone into the corporate.

Cons

The manager I got was toxic. HR is useless. I wish they work on that. It is ironic becasue HSBC focuses on wellbeing and being open but actually it is not. They do not care about you and will still want you to work even when you are sick.
