Pros

No real workpressure - so one can maintain Work-life Balance. Until and Unless you want to take it on yourself to change things - they continue the way they are.

Cons

Laidback attitude of people towards work. No real process improvements in the last so many years. Because of the geographic spread the bank sustains otherwise it would have been the pioneer to initiate the reccession. Salary is meagre - at least in APAC. The attitude of the European counterparts stinks when talking to the workforce in the APAC region (esp Brits) - maybe becoz of their insecurity of losing jobs. The culture of the organisation is not instilled and communicated across the organisation effectively.

Pros

they paid a decent amount and they don't really require you to have too much experience. But these people are lifers.

Cons

it was mundane work for a mundane company. Little room for growth because my group was small and didn't even look the managers there.

Pros

HSBC is a great place to work. There are politics, like there are at any other large organization. But on the whole I recommend working there.

Cons

The business is downsizing because of the economy. That curtails chances of traveling for focus group, attending seminars and other career-enhancing opportunities
