Pros

Large global markets presence, wide variety of products traded affording opportunities to learn

Cons

Organisation almost too large to get things done. It takes a long time to churn reviews and approvals etc through the system. Processes and controls missing and those that exist are not documented. Relies heavily on consultancies which have their own agenda which is not necessarily aligned to the clients'. Very little senior buy in for initiatives making them difficult to get off the ground, concept of accountable executive and sponsor doesn't exist.

Pros

Solid management; subject matter experts will with you, but you have to track them down. Good work / life balance.

Cons

No advancement opportunities. HSBC isn't looking to hire in North America, and so a transition from contractor to full-time isn't possible. Lots of contractors and some full timers were transitioned to Capco, which has essentailly become the "Target" or Walmart" of consulting firms. A lot of talent was alienated.

Pros

Highly diversified in staff and business so it brings you different exposure opportunity.

Cons

As a super big company, some implicit company culture and practices are unavoidable but it sometimes reduces your working efficiency.
