Pros

- I can't see any one. previously it was onsite but nowadays there are onsite but silly managers want to go first. Perks in onsite also not good, nowadays people who never visited onsite are going else everyone rejects onsite in GLT.

Cons

- Good for lazy people... who don't want to do anything in life - Lot's of un-necessary process (some time work delays, postponed even cancelled due to this) - Saturday n Sunday work culture. Managers count saturday and sunday also in estimation to save there ass. - GLT is abusing HSBC brand name.

Pros

great office environment good benefits (kind of) innovative thinkers well respected global brand marketable to future employers efforts towards global programs

Cons

awful management in HR poor communication lack of transparency bad, not actually awful on boarding experience poor pay no recognition for delivery of work expected to work incredibly long hours old boys (and girls) club - not welcoming to new people HSBC is an amazing brand, and externally it is seen as an amazing place to have on your resume, unfortunately in my experience is was entirely the opposite, the worst place I have ever worked for nearly every reason imaginable. The only plus is that there are some amazing people there, skilled, talented, and professional but sadly they aren't words i'd use for any of the management staff in the HR team.
