HSBC reviews

Too prudential way of making the business. There is a general conservative attitude often. It helps on negative periods but on the other hand it does not pay once the situation is up again. The management approach is friendly and open but it is uncertain and not clear whether they are really so. Making career locally is not always easily achievable as it is claimed, as it is not only depending on personal hystory and value. It seems there is a standardization downward or upward to avoid discontent. In my view there is no distiction between "talents" and normal workers (at least locally).

Do not think you will ever be valued or treated better than your job level. Your manager will try to do your job more often than expected and then blame you for not doing it right. There is a lot of inconsistency on how things are done and nobody really cares. Processes are different even for the same stuff which creates a lot of confusion. Not a lot of people gets authorized to work from home and if you do, don't expect to have good support. The IT department is not behind the times, it's behind the computer age, which leads to a lot of anachronistic features, like you are not allowed to listen to music at your workstation.
