      Pros

      Work Life balance 95% Managers won't shout at you In India at 4 year completion you get INR 85K On site opportunities

      Cons

      Brand name all over the world Not the place for people with passion to learn. Won't learn anything great from a technical point of view Work for 5 years in HSBC GLT and become a custom employee of this company; virtually useless for any other tech jobs Managers get lot of management trainings yet useless mostly 80% managers are technically very poor People generally won't share knowledge Company cutting down all major benefits

      Pros

      Easy working hours, iconic offices.

      Cons

      Factory of temps. No training given, no basic induction, fire training, health & safety, no basic information on the company. People coming and going at a moment's notice, no continuity, projects left half-finished, teams changing constantly. Esp bad in compliance, failing on almost all FSA Handbook areas. Minimal staffing budget from board.
