Pros

- No work - If you are not interested in technology and just want to survive in a industry as a manager/ Technical manager. - Good technical architects who drives everything from onsite locations. - Salary will be credited to your account on 28th each month. - If you want to develop your political skills then you will become politician after 5 yrs in hsbc. - Bus service. - Great pantry service (A guy with food trolly will walk through the floor twice a day ) .

Cons

- 0% technical growth - 0 % development in JAVA only support and maintenance projects. - some technical forums are banned here. They might ban google in future. - frameworks and technologies are too old. You are suppose to work on legacy things. - horrible politics. If you are good in politics then they will award you with promotion. - They have installed sapience tool on every machine .which records your online & offline time.if you complete a task in 8 hours, then you are marked productive and if you complete the very same task in 2 hours , then you are not productive. ( HR and managers will tell you this tool is installed to improve the effeciency of employees ..lol) - No internet in notice period. - If you ask for better work they will give you some IBM tool / production support. - Hikes and promotions are depend on your relations and your sapience timings. - No promotions and onsites for senior positions. - Food quality is horrible. - No cubicles . Call center type sitting arrangement. ( please dont join this company if you are fresher it will ruin your carrier)
