Pros

Great brand name to work for. Stable company in difficult times. HSBC is growing in the United States and a well regarded bank worldwide. The people I work with are extremely helpful and great to work with. Senior management keeps employees informed of organization change and employees are always notified of any big changes.

Cons

I my experience I'm not sure if the compensation is as good as other banks in the United States. I don't necessarily know if employees are extremely visible to senior management since the company is so big.

Pros

The 401k matching is one of the best. Health Care choices plentiful. Salary very competitive for the area. Lot's of opportunity for growth due to the sheer size of the organization. Relocations plentiful, particularly international opportunities

Cons

"Top down" communication sorely lacking. "Offshore" is becoming the new "Onshore" Pay for performance, although a highly touted concept is still just a tagline. Disparity of treatment on the employee level. Goals are vague, mostly unmeasurable, and often used as a punishment rather than incentive. Internal job posting program is mostly one way commnication with little or no feedback to even acknowledge acceptance of interest on the applicants part.
