Pros

great office environment good benefits (kind of) innovative thinkers well respected global brand marketable to future employers efforts towards global programs

Cons

awful management in HR poor communication lack of transparency bad, not actually awful on boarding experience poor pay no recognition for delivery of work expected to work incredibly long hours old boys (and girls) club - not welcoming to new people HSBC is an amazing brand, and externally it is seen as an amazing place to have on your resume, unfortunately in my experience is was entirely the opposite, the worst place I have ever worked for nearly every reason imaginable. The only plus is that there are some amazing people there, skilled, talented, and professional but sadly they aren't words i'd use for any of the management staff in the HR team.
