Pros

- Global exposure and scope of projects - HSBC University

Cons

- Heavily bureaucratic, constant restructuring. - Siloed and very negative working culture. - Maternity / paternity leave will impact career negatively. - Wastes resources, line management lacking direction. - Vast majority of employees have only worked for HSBC (can be +/-). - Cumbersome and slow moving, size of organisation gets in its way. - Behind the times in terms of marketing aptitude / experimentation. - Extensively reliant on external agencies to do bulk of work which limits employee scope to project management. - Incredibly poor line management. - Poor progression opportunities.

Pros

Paid great money until they were caught for predictors lending. Legally,they hoy a slap in the wrist, but they were fined heavily.i would work for them again but f given the opportunities. They had awesome company trips as well.

Came to work one day and they just had the keys changed and the doors padlocked.
