Pros
Enough holidays in a year (~25) Certain people at the top (such as Ravi) are very good Chance to work on newer technology as bank is shifting from old to new ATM Most developers are dedicated and talented, it's mainly the management that's terrible
Cons
Low salary and low perks compared to all its peers (DB, citi, barclays, etc.) If your friends work there you WILL feel bad when you compare. Terrible management - mark my words, i cannot emphasize this point enough. I am not talking of the very senior management but team leads/project leads/etc. who report to the top brass, and especially the non technical employees like analysts teaching developers about tech. Horrible HR, it was dreadful dealing with them whenever i had to. On weekends the business bay building in Pune stinks of urine. The lifts are too slow and work on some crazy algorithm. I had to climb 9 floors of stairs almost everyday. Compass mess is overpriced and low quality. They don't take your complaints seriously until you resign after which they make big promises which are LIES, to keep me there at a critical time. They might lie to you in their interviews, ensure to take down the benefits promised in writing especially if you are a fresher. They treat Indians like a bunch of chumps, for example scheduling calls after 6pm in India or at night to suit their timings in UK. Even if you are talented, you may be dumped in mainframe, production support, etc. There is no way to leave unless you finish 1 year and apply for IJP but that's 1 year of your life wasted and you cannot mention your experience outside

Truth about HSBC GLT/HTI - Pune (India)
Current employee, more than 3 years
Pune
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook
Pros
Suitable for Low IQ people who can't face market competition. Old managers don't allow the talent to grow, in order to save their job. Their salary is in multiple figures. But the lowest hierarchy gets penny. Biased leadership. Less promotion scope. Good for YES people, who can butter their managers. No area for growth. Managers are incompetent and outdated. They will show you lollypops and get the extract the work. Infrastructure is very bad. Overcrowded work place, canteen, lifts. Managers will not allow you to switch to other department. They are politicians.
Cons
Good for dumb and low IQ people who fear competition.
