Pros

HSBC has a lot of opportunities to make things better, and there's an enormous amount of work that truly needs to get done.

Cons

Management makes up its mind what it wants, and wants to hear, and if it doesn't hear it, it shoots the messenger. Those that report what management wants to hear are rewarded, and usually move to another role before the chickens come home to roost.
