      Great pay but keep your ears open

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      401k, company bonus and incentives are great. Tuition assistance and plenty of perks to keep you motivated.

      Cons

      Favorites rule and if your manager dislikes you expect a rough ride. Layoff rehire, layoff rehire, layoff rehire. Sending people back and forth to India doesn't help and neither does layoff rehire strategy. Managers do not need to be micro-managed they just need to manage their staff and make their teams profitable.

      Not even close to being the Best place to Work (Kolkata, India)

      Pros

      In a site like Kolkata, India, it provides much needed employment for the local populace. That's the only good part.

      Cons

      - Poor, Pathetic Salary - Biased Management and HR - Ever changing policies leading to unsuccessful results - Very low employee morale

      Pros

      Great place to show your stuff and move ahead if you have what it takes. Upper management was willing to tap into your skills as long as you were willing to take on more challenges. Overall very happy with my time with HSBC North America

      Cons

      30,000 job cuts between 2011 and 2013. Moved to Latin America because they stated this was emerging market, more focus in this region, but HSBC ended up pulling out of almost all of latin markets by 2013. HSBC Latin America was managed COMPLETELY differently from North America, they did NOT adhere to policies, etc, etc
