Pros

- Work Life Balance (plenty of it and you will be bored some times for doing nothing) - Salary Hike (you get a nice hike in comparison to most of the companies - not all obviously) - Onsite (chances are good) - Good place to grow in if you want to be an administrative & resource manager - HSBC Brand

Cons

- HR has a very little say, most of the times things are in the hand of delivery manager (BU Head) or department head, although otherwise some HR policies are good. - Very less opportunities if somebody wants to grow technically (definitely a wrong place for any good technical person). - Since there is no very clear guideline in terms of the skill set up-gradation & training and If you do not keep your eyes/ mind open, after few year chances would be high that there may not be any taker (employer) for you.

Pros

The compay had a great compensation plan which included a nice salary and bonus structure. Work environment was positive depending on your manager but overall nice job.

Cons

The cons were that you had to work some weekends and late on some days up until about 7pm. But not that bad.
