Pros

The benefits and the name or brand were a nice caveat when speaking to clients. There were some good people employed as "rank and file" like myself.

Cons

The management made it difficult to more forward. Keep in mnd that this is specific to district and branch. The technological capabilities were atrocious. The branches were not well maintained. The budgets were immensely tight.

Pros

Very results driven organization. If you performed, you were paid accordingly. Very "Corporate" in the sense of sharing ideas and being given credit when credit was due.

Cons

Complete lack of industry understanding from most managers. When an idea or concept was rolled out, it was like a bad game of telephone where the concept had been completely changed by the time it made it to the sales floor.

Pros

best things is work life balance. It is best place for those who want to live their career in single setup/framework, don't want to learn new things and happy with doing same thing every day and who want to do lots of CSR and team building exercises. jobs are very safe even in the recession time. working for a respectable banking brand

Cons

middle management is not fair in dealing with work force, lacks innovative management approach and not interested in improving the current situation. If any suggestion is given, usually no action is taken. opportunities are not equal to every employee. If you don't ask things, you will never get it whether promotion or onsite. HSBC GLT does not match to the reputation of the banking brand of HSBC
