Pros

HSBC is committed to work life balance, actively promoting work-from-home opportunities, encouraging employees to take care of personal issues whenever necessary and allowing time-off and ad-hoc working environments to accommodate all situations. The benefits are excellent, with HSBC paying a very high proportion of medical and dental and matching 401k contributions at a level higher than most.

Cons

Pay is not what it is at Investment Banks. Facilities are less than top-notch. The lower level worker talent is not at the level one might expect at a large bank.

Pros

HSBC provides a reasonably strong comp package, including sufficient holiday allowance to promote reasonable work life balance and have international opportunities.

Cons

The company seems to support hierachy over meritocracy, and prefers to promote tenure over ability to avoid making difficult decisions.

Pros

Management empathy and support. Recognisition. Coworkers help you in your difficulty. Working conditions are ok. Very good place to learn before you enter real world elsewhere.

Cons

Working conditions average. Buildings average. Facilities provided are average. The systems are not modern. They buy only what is absolutely important. But not a bad place.
