Untapped company potential due to frustrating employee policy

Pros

Brand name recognition, location, fast-paced environment (many projects to work on)

Cons

Management cares little about their staff, no willingness to retain talent within the company. Very little internal mobility. Recently on a downsizing trend. A lot of politics which is to be expected in a bank, but can refrain from moving, progressing both as an individual within the company and as a company on the whole.

Pros

Time pass culture, tea shops near by, no real intellectual task.

Cons

Managers love only girls, they hire girls, they promote girls, really dumb girls, if you want to go to onsite, be a girl, get a boyfriend, husband at onsite and just fly. Give any professional reason you are doomed. Terrible biased working culture, this is across projects not a particular one. Talk about technology, they have nothing which could give you an edge in market. Stay away from HSBC guys.

Pros

You have a chance to deal with many countries around the world.

Cons

Cost saving ideas implemented on this company really has a major effect on their employees. We were not allowed to bring any gadget into the floor which make us difficult to get connected from family or external call. Time capturing system have treated the employees like a robots as they only rate their executive based on that figure. Were pushed to improve a work speed and at the same time given extra workload to save their cost.
