Pros

Work from home No micro management. Good for politicians, smart talkative , sales people, good for people who knows politics and have some domain or functional knowledge on banking and financial systems.

Cons

Worst env out here, No respect for employees skillset, they just need their work to be done. Dont go by their marketing terms on new technologies. ultimately you have to work on 10 years old legacy technology.over here only functional and domain knowledge matters. if you are equipped with cutting edge tech like Micro services , .NET core , Cloud , dev ops, data science , Machine learning etc then go home, there will be no respect for you. BUT you will be a superstar if you are equipped with domain or functional skillset. No career growth, seriously, who will ask these old technology and skill set on the current job market. They provide the worst facility, no parking for car after 9.30 Am , no parking for bike after 10 am. every morning you will end up on anxiety over parking.Cafeteria looks like a fish market in pune business bay and foods are super costly. they have over hiring and over firing based upon the project budget every year for which they have minimum desk allocation to the associates. you will end up sharing your desk or sitting on a populated area. you cant leave your personal belonging on your desk mistakenly also because it will stolen and admin desk dont have any answers to it.lifts are over crowded, sometimes you have to wait for 15 minutes.and on the top of that your managers wants you to come office on time. trust me , you will be end up with a exhausted day with all these scenarios which will impact you family life.

Pros

work from home. brand name for people who want to retire legacy tech stack

Cons

24 by 7 support. old technologies. if you can cringe lick manager feet you can stay here. it is very common to hear in scrum call by banking heads heads that if you will not do this that we will fire you. if you want high bp, sugar problem pls join them. no respect for team members. on consultant level if you do a very minute mistake on pre prod env and production is delayed you wil have to face PIP or leave the job. if your manager escalation will happen twice or thrice no problem he is at senior position no one is firing him or her. managers behave even worst then a begger on the road. mental harassment. you have to purchase stationery for office work they dont provide. no cups and even glasses in pantry for tea coffee or water. to get parking you have to enter in the building by8:30 otherwise your 1 hr will be wasted for finding the parking. its very common by managers to ask people to escalate against other team manager other wise get ready for worst appraisal. my manager argued me when i was onsite and doing pre prod env build. i explained them i dont have even time to go to rest room that much work loadis here. he told me your pee time is not calculated as work hours. this is the attitude managers have in hsbc. my manager was also very character less person he favors girls and does sitting agreement in such manner so he always surrounded by ladies.
