      Pros

      Pay and benifits are good. The people based in buffalo are all friendly and willing to help you out. They are rolling out good work from home programs. I have 2 days a week at home.

      Cons

      All management and most operations are being moved to chicago/mettawa office. After the household "acquisition" they were put in most sr mgr positions. All of them are all talk and no results. The household cancer is spreading like crazy and is infecting the whole place. Everything is fly by night and get it in by the date even if it does not work.

      HSBC - Good But a Long Way To Go To Be Great.

      Pros

      Flexible benefits are improving. Contributory pension scheme is going to improve hugely in 2008. But the non-contributory pension scheme is being stopped (but thats no surprise). Strong team ethic where employees tend to help other employees readily. Information sharing is done as a matter of course. Truly want to be best bank for customers.

      Cons

      Big focus on using offshore resources whether they are right for the particular IT project or task. It's just a numbers game to senior management so much so that some projects just have 10/20 offshore developers sat around doing nothing, but so they can hit the ratio targets. Far too much red tape and paperwork. Not enough freedom given to employees to use initiative and do what is right rather than blindly following managements poorly thoughout strategy.
