      Performance not getting recognised

      Analyst developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Certain flexibility in working hours. More annual leave than market average. Clearly segregated duties. Side benefits are good. Multinational culture.

      Cons

      Cannot foresee any career advancement. Pay is lower than market in terms of IT staff. Good results in appraisal do not mean any progression. Lack of efficiency or even equipment. The computers given to IT staff could not even run Excel/Outlook smoothly, not to mention other development tools. Plenty of time is wasted at waiting for the computer to load.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There aren't any pros to working here

      Cons

      They find every excuse not to pay bonuses. They micro manage employees. They expect you to work overtime and not pay you for it. Branches are in disrepair. Awful customer service. Lack of competitive products to see. They promise a book of thousands of 'affluent' customers but they don't have any. They force you to sell products unsuitable to clients needs. Zero advancement opportunities.

      Compliance Officer

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval

      Pros

      The globally recognized name of HSBC

      Cons

      The worst place to work. Favoritism and gossip in managers. Very weak management style: Dept run as mom and pap shop. No career advancement unless you are a pet to the boss. Retaliation on your bonus if you have a dissenting opinion. Management is hard to change. New ideas not appreciated and escalation is worthless. Put up or shut up is the culture. Lack of diversity in senior management positions
