      HSBC - Overall Good With a Few Flaws

      Manager, ito
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits. They are really serious about the work/life balance initiative; allowing several to work from home up to 5 days a week. The organization at the most Sr. levels is very communicative. You can see the vision and the strategy they want to see in place as they focus on the emerging markets.

      Cons

      If you are in IT, management at the middle level is inept. The wrong people are being promoted. It's more based on who you know and less on real potential. You have to fend for yourself which is exhausting and tiresome. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Diversity is paid lip service at the Director level and above.

      HFC/Beneficial

      Loyal employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      great opportunity for professional advancement IF you are willing to relocate to Chicago, New York or over seas.

      Cons

      90% of people who work for HSBC Holdings in North America work under HFC/Beneficial. There is nothing wrong with either entity but it takes a strongly career minded, money driven individual to succeed and advance within the company. There is one career path: Account Executive -> Sr. Acct Executive -> ASM then BSM. From BSM, there aren't very many options if you have a family or aren't wiling to relocate. Branch Sales Managers are there Mon - Thurs from 8:00 or 8:30 to 7:00 or 8:00. There is little time for a life away from work but the pay is well worth it IF you have a good staff and you know how to utilize your people. The pay CAN be excellent but most of the time I believe it's easy to feel like you are not compensated for the energy required to run a branch... but then again, who doesn't feel that way sometimes?
