      great people and benefits, but HSBC is shrinking it's US presence, so less jobs and opportunity now than in the past.

      Pros

      great colleagues; flexible work arrangements are first class; compensation is great - pay is at market value. international career opportunities are plentiful and management really supports and encourages people to take advantage.

      Cons

      HSBC is in the process of transforming it's businesses, so over the last 3 years there has been nothing but downsizing, and layoffs. Also, HSBC does not seem to like the US too much, as they do not invest in growing the US businesses, even those that are profitable. overall, HSBC seems committed to being mediocre.

      Good, but should have jump the ship long time back

      Pros

      If you want to work in an offshore sell side research or aspire to work in onshore sell side research but not getting opportunity, HSBC EDPI is the best organisation to work with. Being a captive unit of HSBC Research, you get to learn a lot during first two years of your career. This center provides support to the all the global offices of HSBC and other than marketing and speaking with clients you can literally do everything.

      Cons

      But you should leave organisation within 2-3 years, else you get stuck in your career because there are not enough opportunities available to move onshore. If you stay for more than three years, it will be difficult to get job elsewhere. Senior management is least interested in anyone's career. Most of the senior people are fighting for their own survival, because once this sort of set up does not need many senior management personnel.

      The best coworkers around complemented with ever increasing goals minimum raises/promotions (if any).

      Pros

      HSBC is a fantastic place to work, as most of your coworkers are friendly and willing to help each other out. Always looked forward to going to work. Also you get the best benefits package around (health insurance, 401K matching, etc). Large bank with global presence (well known).

      Cons

      HSBC wants to compete with other well known banks who lead in wealth management, causing the goals to increase considerably, across all the staff. Too much overhaul in UK, causing a trickling down effect here in the US.
