      Pros

      HSBC has a tremendously diverse culture and allows employees the opportunity to travel around the world. There is much security in such a global and diverse company. HSBC promotes upward mobility and recommends new jobs every few years. This allows for a great overall understanding of such a large company.

      Cons

      HSBC has an extremely conservative culture when compared to other large U.S. financial institutions. But hey, maybe thats why they haven't tanked yet. Right now the processes are inefficient and are in major need of automation. I would say that overall, processes are 75% manual and 25% automated. From speaking with employees who have worked at other large banks, HSBC is behind.

      HSBC is a strong International Company with opportunities, even in cautious economic times.

      Pros

      Large International company with many opportunities. One of the more stable financial institutions in the world. Great benefits and opportunities. I work in the IT department, there are some very well qualified people. HSBC has improved over the past 2 years with work / life balance (working remote, flex hours, etc.)

      Cons

      Hard to move up if you're in a smaller group. Outsourcing more work. Due to the economy, they have had some cut-backs.

      Pros

      Large company with opportunity to grow. Great benefits and great time off program. (Require that you take at least 5 days straight off with no interaction with office during period.)

      Cons

      Global company, so competing for resources globally. Seem to be more focused on emerging markets overseas than investing in the U.S. Not so interested in the U.S. businesses that they purchased just a few short years ago.
