      Solid company with a strong direction, but management needs to be more thoroughly vetted.

      Pros

      HSBC is a worldwide bank with a solid reputation. If you get put under a good manager, you will be well taken care of and you can expect your career to accellerate. HSBC is a solid company that you can expect to weather the storms. Despite our exposure to sub prime lending, we have faired quite well in comparison to our competitors.

      Cons

      Many of the managers are incompetant and if you are put under one of these people, your job will stagnate and you will hate your job.

      Vision is lost in translation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are great and dependent upon your manager, the work/life balance exceeds expectations.

      Cons

      The high level management seems to be moving the company in a good direction, however, somewhere the translation of their vision gets lost within the senior to mid level management sector. Implementation of any vision is limited to the committment level of the mid-level management.

      HSBC - Overall Good With a Few Flaws

      Manager, ito
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits. They are really serious about the work/life balance initiative; allowing several to work from home up to 5 days a week. The organization at the most Sr. levels is very communicative. You can see the vision and the strategy they want to see in place as they focus on the emerging markets.

      Cons

      If you are in IT, management at the middle level is inept. The wrong people are being promoted. It's more based on who you know and less on real potential. You have to fend for yourself which is exhausting and tiresome. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Diversity is paid lip service at the Director level and above.
