Pros

It's a way to get to working for HSBC (the bank). If you love to relocate or work anywhere in the world, this might be the place for you

Cons

Finance is a small branch of the bank and honestly it's not a good place to work. I've heard that on the other side working for HSBC Canada or US is great.

Pros

Good compensation, many advancement opportunities, does alot for the environment

Cons

Poor communication from management, no true corporate vision-only 'vision statments', horrible communication to employees, constant change interpretations of work flexibility programs makes planning personal life near impossible, every employee I work with feels they are 1 mistake from being fired, I am a top performer yet I am always made to feel I have failed, feedback is encouraged but often punished when not in step with management decisions, frequently terminates employees when they have a disability or major life crisis, lack of management accountability

Pros

As a global company you will gain experiance working with other countries and cultures. This type of experiance is invaluable within a global perspective.

Cons

Promotions are seldom given out to those people who do the most work in a competent and equitable manner. The jobe is a virtual pressure cooker where more is expected from you with little regard to your needs. Many employees are expected to work 50 or more hours per week with no compensation or allowable time off. I have seen many instances where management has abused their employees verbally.
