HSBC reviews

Extremely large, global institution; you can feel lost at times The organization is managed through technology

Overly crowded building. The work environment is horrible despite how the building looks from the outside. Not to mention how many complaints I filed about toilets. Bad work life balance & high pressure. Management keeps pushing you to work harder and the pay is not competitive compared to the range outside. Bonus is pretty bad. No matter how much revenues you think you have make, they think this is franchise not sales effort. Btw CEO always gets pay rise but not you as small potatoes. I don’t know how you feel about Indian mid management but there are too many of them in HSBC HK. What happened to diversity and inclusion? No career progression unless you stay close to the boss. I’m in one of those sick teams with 2 guys managing over 30 people. Each individual is just negligible and replaceable in the eyes of management. The company culture is rigid. They don’t encourage people with personality. These people often end up quitting or letting go. The management likes someone obedient and hard working like a robot. Some of the systems are really from the Stone Age.
