Pros

Global bank, opportunities to move from one site to another globally (although less opportunities now)

Cons

30k jobs slashed in the midst of CoVid pandemic, understanding HSBC complex organization and processes requires a PhD and exceptional memory skills, pay less than peers, is 5 year behind the competition in many topics

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.
