HSBC reviews

mass layoffs, collective redundancies, unclear career path, senior management

HSBC is constantly changing, which causes stress. Sometimes you don't know what the right way to do something is, and due to its size, often people can't tell you. Staff are overworked and processes are very complicated. Because managers frequently haven't done your role, they don't appreciate how much effort it can take to do it well. Also, like every other multi-national, they are migrating jobs to lower cost jurisdictions, so you are always afraid your job is going to be outsourced (or now, replaced with AI).
