Pros
Great place to work if you want to work in emerging markets. Vast global organization provides opportunities in many areas and functions. Conservative nature works well in current environment. Very stable company. People that can adapt to the HSBC Group way can do very well. IM program is best way to move up fast and get best assignments.
Cons
Limited focus in the US. Not a great understanding of the US market or of consumer finance by Group executives. Very conservative, which leads to limited growth potential in up markets. More focused on process and central decision making. Taking decisions out of front line managers.
