      Not the place to be if you are in IT

      It project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, ability for a number of positions to work from home on a regular basis.

      Cons

      Company is cost cutting all over the place and offshoring jobs and outsourcing. Hectic work load and schedule, mixed messages from management, constant change of direction. U.K. management out of touch with what is going on with North America operations. Execs out for themselves.

      Limited growth

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Flexible with lunch hours 2. A lot of team bonding events

      Cons

      1. Open to feedback - But turn a deaf ear when staff really confides with boss 2. They're quick to blame you for mistakes, but rarely express gratitude when you succeed 3. No recognition for hardwork but rather how you bootlick your boss (Common scene: buying coffee and tea for boss everyday) 4. No intention to retain good workers but insist on keeping workers just because they have been with the bank for long. 5. Interviewing process not consistent throughout the bank. 6. HR leaves everything to business/ line manager to handle hiring process/ complaints. No involvement from HR when there is a need. Not sure what have they been doing. 7. A lot of unnecessary roles with overlapping responsibilities.

      FCC Audit

      Fcc audit manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great chance to learn about the regulatory environment and the global standards initiative The environment in audit (outside FCC) is very good and is the environment within HSBC in general.

      Cons

      FCC Audit has a very high attrition rate. This is mainly down to the management of the team. The environment is toxic and your voice is not heard, so most people speak with their feet. Unfortunately no one will point out the real reason for leaving (not wanting to burn bridges) so there are no lessons learned.
