Pros

Great benefits package, good work life balance (although it depends on your manager) and great facilities. Work from home remote capabilities as well. Had good advancement opportunities, was able to lead projects and teams relatively early in my professional career. Made a few income jumps, but had to be patient.

Cons

Took a while to get into a decent salary range. Hit hard by the financial services meltdown, but since they got out of mortgage they have a stronger future. Was laid off from the mortgage division, but was able to get a great severance package.

Does HSBC really "Live the Brand?"

Pros

The pay is deecent. Nothing really special. They do allow employees to take time off and the location is pretty decent. They offer an onsite cafeteria and the job has benefits.

Cons

The management staff seemed out of touch like John McCain. They change something everyday and they Pride themselves on Living the Brand.......which is B.S. We try to be Respectful, Responsive, Progressive, Perceptive, and Fair. How about we learn how to communicate with Management open & Honestly?
