Pros

I worked in HSBC Krakow and people are really nice.

Cons

HR department is really bad, not responsive. Team leaders who I worked with, did not know about what I am doing, therefore they were not able to help when I have a problem with the customer.

Pros

HSBC as a brand is excellent. Its written policies, procedures, and the 3 principles, Open, Dependable and Connected are excellent on paper.

Cons

Promotes Bullying as the very top people only prefer their own colour to progress. The culture still reminds you of the dark times where ethnic minorities are discriminated based on their origins. Politically promote issues of gender equal pay and then discriminate against equal pay. White colleagues get away doing less work with good pay but ethnic Minorities are pressured to work long hours with less pay. Line managers authorise expense for an unlimited and unjustified reason for a favourite such as a white colleague but would refer to incorrect procedures to delay or not authorise expense claim for a non white colleague. HR is useless as they do not have the power to respond to any genuine concerns as all line managers and the top heads are colleagues and support each other.
