Pros

Great name on your resume, some good exposure to different kinds of clients/transactions.

Cons

Not everybody had poor work/life balance, but for some of us we were there long long hours and we had little support to achieve our tasks. There was also a lot of favoritism and politics. Not always fair in compensation structure

Pros

Working at HSBC Canada is a great title and looks excellent on your resume. As I part time, I was allowed flexible schedule for school and time off.

Cons

As a part time, there are little opportunities for advancement. The salary is low compared to other banks I have heard.

Pros

HSBC has a great brand in most countries. The company provides opportunities to get positions in other countries, enabling you exposure that is very unique. The company has a strong focus on emerging markets, providing opportunities to get exposure into these economies.

Cons

Very slow organization, lots of red tape around everything. Not the place for entrepreneurship... Salaries are OK, nothing special, around average. Many people are being promoted just cause they have been there for ages, not cause they are good.
