      Business Outlook

      Pros

      solid pay and good benefits; good work life balance and flexibility; HSBC has weathered the storm better than many of the banks by recognizing problems were coming earlier than most and acting accordingly

      Cons

      technology is outdated, company is too big to make quick decisions, bank branches are old and understaffed, employees are not very knowledgable as processes are arcane; very limited opportunity for promotion or advancement, very little value in long term employees or loyalty

      HR lacks human touch, finger pointing at executive even at fault of manager, very much number specific approach, thinks employee is money earning machine rather than human that can have genuine problems.
