      OK place to be, but there are better places to grow your career

      Pros

      Good work / life balance and benefits. The people are down to earth and generally approachable. People below management level will, for the most part communicate openly and honestly with you. I have found my direct management very accomodating to my personal needs. I rarely have to put any time in on weekends. There are some talented individuals, but management has not found the glue to put it together.

      Cons

      Lack of senior management communication and leadership qualities. Communication from local senior management is weak and infrequent. The troops are not inspired and have not been since the day I arrived. HR is disorganized and unresponsive

      Pros

      HSBC provides great opportunities for learning, training and personal development. They have extensive on-line training, special training centers and provide a great tuition reimbursement package. Depending o the department, you may also be able to help the business grow - management actually listens to feedback from their staff. Direct manager should hold weekly or bi-weekly one-on-one sessions with their staff to discuss any issues and keep communication open.

      Cons

      Communication from management isn't always as clear and timely as it should be. You will likely spend a portion of your time putting out fires that could have been prevented with timely communication from the management team. Semi-annual and annual reviews could use improvement - they are often done in a vacuum by manager without employee input.

      Pros

      Excellent Benefits. Decent employment stability. Tough economy now, limited opportunities are available in the job place. HSBC has an excellent benefit package that includes tuition reimbursement. This could alllow one to continue their education while working. Good overall health and other benefits as well. One of the few companies left that actually has a pension plan

      Cons

      Below average compensation and advancement opportunities
