      Good at attracting talent, not so good at retaining

      Pros

      Global company with an excellent brand and the recognition that goes with it. Ambitious in strategy and well positioned in emerging markets.Huge network and potential to leverage this network with clients.

      Cons

      Not very good at retaining talent as they just don't pay. Mediocrity is in the air and it is hard to differentiate yourself given the lack of reward and incentive culture. They call HSBC the civil service of the banking world. The only people I saw rewarded were those who played the political game or threatened to leave the company. Loyalty was not rewarded and nor hard work. HSBC is not a meritocracy.

      Same as any other bank

      Premier relationship manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent base salary and access to international clients.

      Cons

      Layers and layers of inexperienced, unqualified managers. Many individuals in top management positions for sales departments without any sales experience. Instead of actually generating new business, managers are padding numbers and leads to pacify those in executive positions. No dynamic managers, just robots following orders. Gossip and politics is rampant.

      Best company a person can work ever

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BEST hike and remuneration Policies are transparent If you are in the good books of Business Partners,say,your life is full of gold Time passes so quick in hsbc.....Less work and more talks and recreational activities. The Relationship HR managers are prompt and formalities are done in professional system.

      Cons

      The Managers, especially , not direct but the functional head,its disgusting to let you know,they play all blame game, No New Projects...Roll over with the same throughout. Incorrigible and reluctant Manager...they don't want new projects to be migrated with the lame excuse of NO sufficient desk..
