Pros

The IT organization has matured greatly over the last several years, with more and more cooperation at the international level.

Cons

HSBC's North American presence is shrinking dramatically, the result of a strategic decision by the new Group Chairman in London. The branch banking presence in New York state and the credit card operations were sold off in 2011. As a result, we should expect more layoffs, not job postings.
