It's OK, but ultimately frustrating

Pros

Stable well-run company. Benefits like health insurance are great due to discounts received through sheer number of employees. Fairly generous time off. Progressive global culture for a bank. And it is managing its way through the current credit crisis quite nicely, thank you.

Cons

Below-average salaries. Bonus depends too much on factors beyond individual control. Very long hours requiring exceptional focus.

Pros

Great brand name to work for. Stable company in difficult times. HSBC is growing in the United States and a well regarded bank worldwide. The people I work with are extremely helpful and great to work with. Senior management keeps employees informed of organization change and employees are always notified of any big changes.

Cons

I my experience I'm not sure if the compensation is as good as other banks in the United States. I don't necessarily know if employees are extremely visible to senior management since the company is so big.
