HSBC Global Banking – Corporate Banking Summer Analyst interview approaching: Help!

Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming Superday for a summer analyst position at HSBC in the Global Banking – Corporate Banking group. I am not sure I understand exactly where they stand within the Investment Banking department. I'd like to have your insight on:

1) What do they exactly do? How do they generate business (if any) for the bank?
2) What's the profile/background of people working there?
3) How does it compare to analyst positions in other more traditional "investment banking" groups such as M&A? (daily work, pitching vs. deal execution, modeling)
4) What are the exit opportunities?

5) Perhaps most importantly for the <span class='keyword_link'><a href="/resources/interviews/superday-investment-banking">Superday</a></span>, what can I expect in terms of the interviewing process (i.e. technical questions, case studies, etc.)?
6) Any preparation material/resources or referrals to helpful people.

Your help would be greatly appreciated for any of these listed items.

Thanks.
