Pros

Great place to show your stuff and move ahead if you have what it takes. Upper management was willing to tap into your skills as long as you were willing to take on more challenges. Overall very happy with my time with HSBC North America

Cons

30,000 job cuts between 2011 and 2013. Moved to Latin America because they stated this was emerging market, more focus in this region, but HSBC ended up pulling out of almost all of latin markets by 2013. HSBC Latin America was managed COMPLETELY differently from North America, they did NOT adhere to policies, etc, etc

Pros

Multicultural, friendly environment , easy to get to by bus or train.

Cons

Not consistent with bonuses or salary increases, even when you have out performed and go over and above your required duties. Promotions are slow to come if they come at all. For example no matter how much work you do that is unrelated to your job you will still retain your current title although you have out grown your position with added responsibilities.
