Pros

Large International company with many opportunities. One of the more stable financial institutions in the world. Great benefits and opportunities. I work in the IT department, there are some very well qualified people. HSBC has improved over the past 2 years with work / life balance (working remote, flex hours, etc.)

Cons

Hard to move up if you're in a smaller group. Outsourcing more work. Due to the economy, they have had some cut-backs.

Pros

Large company with opportunity to grow. Great benefits and great time off program. (Require that you take at least 5 days straight off with no interaction with office during period.)

Cons

Global company, so competing for resources globally. Seem to be more focused on emerging markets overseas than investing in the U.S. Not so interested in the U.S. businesses that they purchased just a few short years ago.

Pros

Great brand name to work for. Stable company in difficult times. HSBC is growing in the United States and a well regarded bank worldwide. The people I work with are extremely helpful and great to work with. Senior management keeps employees informed of organization change and employees are always notified of any big changes.

Cons

I my experience I'm not sure if the compensation is as good as other banks in the United States. I don't necessarily know if employees are extremely visible to senior management since the company is so big.
