HSBC reviews

Not very good at retaining talent as they just don't pay. Mediocrity is in the air and it is hard to differentiate yourself given the lack of reward and incentive culture. They call HSBC the civil service of the banking world. The only people I saw rewarded were those who played the political game or threatened to leave the company. Loyalty was not rewarded and nor hard work. HSBC is not a meritocracy.

Layers and layers of inexperienced, unqualified managers. Many individuals in top management positions for sales departments without any sales experience. Instead of actually generating new business, managers are padding numbers and leads to pacify those in executive positions. No dynamic managers, just robots following orders. Gossip and politics is rampant.
