      Talented employees but low moral and terrible place to work

      Manager business systems development
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very talented and dedicated group of employees that are committed to accomplishing the impossible. Investing in Digital Transformation. Great benefits.

      Cons

      Absolutely zero work life balance or room for growth in US. Teams are understaffed for demand and expected to work long hours, nights and weekends with little time to avoid burnout. Leadership expected to spend a large amount of time on non value added tasks. HSBC announced they plan to exit its US domestic mass market retail banking business but will drain everything they can out of their employees until they lay them off.

      Old school and old generation

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For a person who is not passionate about tech but does just management and want to spend years in some org, this one might be the place

      Cons

      Nothing interesting for a passionate techy. Career growth can happen only based on years spent, and even 3x performance doesn't matter. ~90% of the folks working do only management work managing the remaining ~10% folks who do the actual tech work.
