Pros

Good working conditions, awesome salaries in the sector, good bonus and incentive schemes, good recognition and rewards program, employee oriented HR, open to change and automation, fair appraisal system

Cons

shift timings, bad transport policy, bad party culture ( is not optional for the non party freaks ), too many activities that hamper work, some bad managers but I'm sure they are omnipresent

Pros

Excellent work-life balance program, most IT personnel are able to work from home on a regular basis now. HSBC also has the backing of Group assets so it is a secure place to work, if you live in one of the major locations.

Cons

Politics Politics Politics. Working with a global company, standardization is supposed to streamline processes and run efficiently, however it results in lots of red tape and delayed projects. It is very frustrating to work with global virtual teams.
