Pros

great colleagues; flexible work arrangements are first class; compensation is great - pay is at market value. international career opportunities are plentiful and management really supports and encourages people to take advantage.

Cons

HSBC is in the process of transforming it's businesses, so over the last 3 years there has been nothing but downsizing, and layoffs. Also, HSBC does not seem to like the US too much, as they do not invest in growing the US businesses, even those that are profitable. overall, HSBC seems committed to being mediocre.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
