      HSBC reviews

      Horrible place to work. Incredibly cut throats and a very negative culture - Head Of Human Resources HSBC Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits and good opportunities if you either live in London or are willing to relocate. Some really good people too.

      Cons

      Horrible pressure and expectation. A tendency to throw people under the bus when things go wrong and scapegoating a major problem. Employees seen as disposable and a massive problem with turnover, leading to more of the same negative stuff and survival mentality for many employees.

      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.
