Pros
Time Off Program (TOP) - A VP starts with 25 days off. It increases every 5 or so years by a week too. Working from Home/Remote - HSBC has great flexibility to work from home. They encourage changing roles to learn other areas of the bank. Movements are not discouraged.
Cons
This place is chaos. It's very hard to make important changes at an intuition this large. In addition, since the parent company is in London, many of the Key Risk Indicators and standards are based on UK standards at the global level and do not account even for the way more stringent US regulatory requirements. If you stay here for a few years, you will be sure to be undervalued and underpaid. The only way to make more money is to work somewhere else. Pay increases are never substantial unless you move up a Global Band tier. Lateral movements do not consider additional responsibility, hours, etc. and are treated the same, so there is no pay increase if you move to VP role to another VP role, regardless of any of the aforementioned factors.
