Pros

the people are friendly and helpful to newcomers. there is extensive training and you can also work at home. also lunch is an arbitrary section of the day can be as long as you want it to be.

Cons

understaffed so you have to do more work than expected. nothing too serious just simple annoying tasks that a secretary should be doing. there is limited opportunity to advance to senior positions, usually based on openings when people leave the company.

Pros

HSBC is a fantastic place to work, as most of your coworkers are friendly and willing to help each other out. Always looked forward to going to work. Also you get the best benefits package around (health insurance, 401K matching, etc). Large bank with global presence (well known).

Cons

HSBC wants to compete with other well known banks who lead in wealth management, causing the goals to increase considerably, across all the staff. Too much overhaul in UK, causing a trickling down effect here in the US.
