      Pros

      It is a large, international company which has lots of perks such as 8 weeks holiday plus 8 bank holidays. They will help you to get qualified. The staff! The customer service levels at the local branches are high.

      Cons

      No communication from management, the staff constantly feel that they are under constant presuure to sell to customers that so not want to be sold to. The Salarys are not competitive. The call centres are all in India and you get passed to one peson the the next.

      Simple overview of a simple bank.

      Pros

      Safe secure bank that would do well in the current environment.

      Cons

      Overly prudent... to the extent of turning away businesses that can be accepted and spending too much time and effort on risk management.

      Pros

      They treat their staff well Great knowledge sharing Fun atmosphere, friendly co-workers and managers. Lots of informal after-work gatherings and everyone was really supportive. The starting salary is very good and competitive. There is a bonus incentive scheme that can add up to 30% to the salary. There is a pension scheme, mortgage subsidy, participation in share ownership scheme. Another great thing is the training that HSBC provide. There are loads of courses you could take. But I think the best about HSBC is that it's a well-run company and will survive and succeed in the long-term perspective.

      Cons

      There are very few downsides generally, but a few include: Company is too large, hard to make an impact Career advancement opportunities can sometimes be limited depending on the business area unless you're you build good contacts within the firm. It could be difficult to move from one business area to another Feedback and performance reviews could be better.
