Overview
I working in Existing Customer Management within Unsecured Lending, so effectively I am involved in Credit Card Rewards. As part of my placement I provided data analysis to look at where the company could improve, and provided marketing material, that acted as both a staff and customer resource. I also liaised with internal and external stakeholders.
Skills
Developed my technical (excel), communication, creativity, teamwork skills
Responsibilities
Yes, I was tasked with lots of responsibility, including vital analysis which would drive future decisions, as well as liaising with external stakeholders on my own.
Support & Guidance
There were numerous people I could turn to if struggling. My line manager was very supportive anyway, but I still had a GradCoach who was always happy to help. Overall, HSBC had a very supportive and inclusive environment.
Culture
Numerous opportunities to get involved in the culture outside the standard 9-5. ERG's are great to be a part of and are the backbone of the inclusiveness. By getting involved in stuff to support them, it provides development opportunities.
Your Impressions
It was a really supportive and inclusive environment and therefore helped me step out of my comfort zone at times which really helped me develop certain skills.
Yes
They're really supportive throughout the application process. Don't worry if you lack experience, they don't want the finished product.
