Pros

HSBC has a very good brand name. Besides they are very flexible with the work hours ( atleast most of the teams with FT employees). Has good benefit packages. and they are a very employee friendly company.

Cons

A little laid back culture. Ideal if you have a family but you would want to do more interesting if you are single. At least within a couple of teams, work is the same over the years. Nothing new is taken up.

Pros

Employee focus is very good. Its a huge organisation, so lot of opportunities, if you work hard & look around.

Cons

Decision making takes time. And a lot of time. Tenure is not a highly valued organisation asset and this leads to loss of good staff. New blood is important, but you also need the guys who knows the nuts & bolts of the company
