A victim of its size - Product Manager HSBC Employee Review

- it seems like the same cycle on repeat, bloated company and structure make it difficult to be efficient, restructure, company becomes bloated and inefficient, restructure and repeat - global standardisation makes it harder to deliver results. It's a necessary evil (you don't want different everything for HSBC across different countries), but it makes it really hard to get things done - incessant meeting culture - it's not innovative at all, and barely open to innovation.
