Turning into a service oriented company
Pros
1. Work life balance can be managed in most of the projects barring few. 2. Nice cafeteria and good food options. 3. Good policies for employee.
Cons
1. Poor technology stack. 2. They are moving away from Hybrid model and making it mandatory for employees to make a certain number of days in a week. 3. You cannot work from home if you are not present in your base location ( Hyderabad / Pune / Bangalore ). It means, if you want to work from your home town for a week, you will not be allowed and you have to apply leaves. 3. Leadership is full of people with service oriented mentality, which means they monitor attendance and working hours. 4. They market themselves as friendly for female employees but they are actually not very cooperative with female employees. 5. 33 Number of leaves include public holiday ( State and National Holidays ). Usually companies do not include 10 public holidays in their leave program but HSBC include them in their leave policy. So in short, we get only 22-23 leaves in a year ( which is quite low comparative to other companies ). No leave for Diwali, Holi, Labour Day etc. If you want to avail them then you have to apply leave in their system.
