Pros

Good work environment. Higher management is very approachable and understanding. Plenty of opportunities for working in different countries, even for new employees. You get a premium account with the HSBC bank which is really nice. Very good training programs for employees, some them are really advanced. Office space is excellent, loved the events and parties.

Cons

Employees using niche technologies have extremely monotonous work and less scope of advancement. Lower management is prone to taking bad decision. Commuting options are bad, especially for employees working odd shifts. Too many processes to follow to the point you spend more time following processes than doing your work. Many of them are practically useless.

Pros

Focus on work life balance. There are continual efforts to create a more holistic work environment which focuses on family as well as social life instead of all work.

Cons

There is limited career growth opportunities for those ambitious high flyers. The organization structure is quite deep and not easy to penetrate into higher management
