Pros

One of the best brands in the world. Unlimited career opportunities product, function, geography (including international). Very smart people, from top down. Large budgets, progressive managers.

Cons

Given scale, bank account, and depth, have the capability to be an A+ best places to work I.e. employee leadership and career development. HSBC says employees are number 1 but probably are about a couple generations behind. Scale works to disadvantage given lack of speed to market. HSBC proudly says they don't want to be first to market.
