A poor place for a career, fine if you want to turn up, work 7 hours and get paid. - Trainee Accountant HSBC Employee Review

The company is completely dis-jointed. HR is particularly bad, each different business area has a completely different HR policy with many areas reporting to management in different countries. There appears to be no career progression path, I have seen many excellent managers leave through frustration of not being able to reward their staff. There is NO system in place for reward or recognition of achievement which means talented, ambitious staff have no choice but to leave to progress.
