HSBC reviews

If you've never worked anywhere else, this might seem like a great company to work for. However, if you've worked elsewhere, you'll see it for the nightmare it is! There is NO training. The systems are outdated and antiquated so there is no way to 'figure things out' -- which explains why so many work 12 hr days sometimes 6 days a week just to keep up!!! The extend of my training was to 'read the manual'. Turnover is EXTREMELY HIGH due to systems and management.

It's a bureaucratic nightmare. People are over promoted. Far too many people at GCB4 and too many people at GCB3 who should be demoted and told to actually do some work. There is no downside to not doing a good job. This company tolerates underperformance. The turnover of good people is horrific. If they actually developed their top talent, they wouldn't be left with a bank that is riddled with people that have been there for 15 years plus and think they know EXACTLY how the place should work. They lack perspective. Know this - the only thing management give a monkeys about is progressing their career. Don't tell HR anything you wouldn't tell the CEO to his face. They are his henchmen.
