HL Interview

Interviewing for SA 2026 position in the Industrials (ADG) Group. I've heard a lot of bad feelings towards HL on account of its culture and lack of support. That said, it's hard to answer "why us" when, for the most part, a lot of MM banks are very similar. MD and VPs probably hear a lot of BS answers for this question, but what's the best way to go about this?
