      Strong Company - but Very Corporate

      Pros

      Good benefits and large, secure company - even in hard economic times

      Cons

      Being led by a Senior Management Group not used to how US employees are driven to succeed, they implement global standards that demotivate employees to do more than the "status quo", as opposed to letting us drive ourselves to succceed.

      Pros

      HSBC has started a work from home program, which is very generous and a good morale builder.

      Cons

      This is a very hierarchal company. There are so many gatekeepers and senior management expects you to be intimidated. In many cases, managers are in the position they are not due to their skill set, rather because they've been with the company for 20+ years. Poor management is not addressed. Many employees are non-degreed and thus intimidated into believing they can't do better anywhere else, so they all just "drink the Kool-Aid" and don't ask questions or rock the boat.

      Pros

      Job Security, assuming the financial economy doesn't get significantly worse. The organization is well established and will likely continue to grow.

      Cons

      Poor quality management. Finger pointing. Problems are generally address as Who, rather than why and how.
