HSBC Summer Work Experience interview questions

I had applied online to the only non penultimate year opening. The questions were fairly easy and average compared to other banking interviews and I felt adequately prepared. The process, however, went on for weeks on end with no word from their end - asked for update with no reply. When I asked for time to consider offer, the HR lady seemed surprised that I would even have to consider. Spoke with total of 5 people, with the 1 interviewer and one student recruitment HR specialist being the only friendly interactions, the other three interviewer/correspondents seemed very pretentious... I will not be accepting the offer due to the slow response as I have already secured another job. As well, the organizational culture vibe that I got from the people I've interacted with doesn't seem to be one that I'd enjoy working in. The conditional offer that was given to me is one that is dependent on my past work experience referrals, criminal record history, and credit history. The pay is menial for a full time summer job with no overtime pay. Overall it was a decent learning experience - the first phone interview I've ever had, and I learned a lot from the experience (foreseeing communication/time zone/connection problems etc.) Would recommend the interview process if you want to learn, but don't count on a timely reply especially if you are from Canada/America and wanting to line up plans for the immediate summer - their summer starts in June/July.
