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.

Pros

Exposure to multiple managers and leaders through the business allowed me to learn from all types of leadership styles. Great experience in the workplace and in my profession. Since graduating from college I have taken many things I learned while interning at HSBC and applied them to my new career. Great pay for a summer job. Made great friends and continue to interact with my network at HSBC.

Cons

I worked for two years as an intern. There was quite a difference between 2005 and 2006. The bank began extremely tight with money and cut all possibilities for overtime, which as a college student I relied on for tuition. During the second I year I worked for the bank, my "supervisor" placed me in a room with all contractors and then I only saw him again maybe twice the rest of the summer. I essentially became one of the contractors for the bank. I would have preferred to be exposed to bank leaders and employees rather than the small break/fix problems the contractors were tasked with.
