Pros

To date HSBC has been the most stable global bank. Also, as one of the largest companies it does offer comprehensive benefits. Among the better aspects is a positive work/life balance that includes a decent amount of time off, options to tele-commute, and depending on role and manager flexibility in one's schedule. HSBC makes a decent investment in employee communications tools to foster collaboration around the globe.

Cons

As mentioned a work/life balance is mostly positive but it depends on role, manager, and team interfaces. Scheduling meetings for global team members can be troublesome. One can count on, at some interval, dialing into meetings in the wee hours -- definitely outside the traditional 9-5 slot.

Pros

Safe secure bank that would do well in the current environment.

Cons

Overly prudent... to the extent of turning away businesses that can be accepted and spending too much time and effort on risk management.
