HSBC reviews

The benefits. Being able to buy and sell holiday time. HSBC will contribute a minimum amount toward your pension - even if you don't. The people - You're just working with a bunch of friendly regular folk; albeit unambitious ones that seem to think it's normal working for such an awful company 7+ years @ £20k. They prioritise recruiting internally; once you're in, you can "sidestep" in to other jobs they have within the company fairly easily, for example from the mortgages department over to customer services. Pay doesn't vary too much, and there isn't really much benefit outside of finding what you prefer. But they frown upon stepping in to another role before spending at least a year in your current role. Cold heartless corporate feel to the company, there was a girl that had to drive her brothers infant child to hospital as it was having difficulty breathing. She came in 1 hour late to work, they didn't really care about the why, and told her she would need to stay behind and make the time back.

Used to be known for good work life balance. In some pockets having very dependable managers.
