HSBC reviews

Since my review was mysteriously removed previously: TLDR; management is not there to promote your growth and care about your well-being; they are there to intimidate you and make you feel unsafe. They hold grudges, remembering ways you have offended them years ago. Nothing is kept confidential. They treat others better than their own people. With 44% of a department tendering their resignation, do you think it’s a solid place? It is not a safe place to work at with management who belittle and berate you, and couldn’t care less about you.

Overly crowded building. The work environment is horrible despite how the building looks from the outside. Not to mention how many complaints I filed about toilets. Bad work life balance & high pressure. Management keeps pushing you to work harder and the pay is not competitive compared to the range outside. Bonus is pretty bad. No matter how much revenues you think you have make, they think this is franchise not sales effort. Btw CEO always gets pay rise but not you as small potatoes. I don’t know how you feel about Indian mid management but there are too many of them in HSBC HK. What happened to diversity and inclusion? No career progression unless you stay close to the boss. I’m in one of those sick teams with 2 guys managing over 30 people. Each individual is just negligible and replaceable in the eyes of management. The company culture is rigid. They don’t encourage people with personality. These people often end up quitting or letting go. The management likes someone obedient and hard working like a robot. Some of the systems are really from the Stone Age.
