Pros

Global brand for those who want international opportunity this is one of the best opportunities that offers domestic US presence and a large number of choices abroad. For those who always believe in drinking the company Kool Aid a pretty decent culture overall. Corporate goals to be "green" are a start at a positive impact. We're big too on a global scale so we aren't going to go and disappear either.

Cons

Technologically challenged like many financial companies, more so with banks than any other group. Due to size of the organization you can feel lost too. Working hard and being smart is no guarantee of climbing the corporate ladder either. Some unfocused strategies due to changes in leadership in recent years.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work for this company is mobility. HSBC is a global company that makes it a priority to encourage pursuit of a wide variety of opportunities in many different locations and disciplines. Therefore, a lot of the employees stay with this company for many years due to the opportunity to keep things fresh by trying different things within the company thus creating a more well rounded employee.

Cons

The downside of working for HSBC is the current market conditions as the majority of HSBC's North American operation deals with subprime lending which obviously is a risky area to be in right now. Also, the talent and leadership of Senior Management can be more consistent.
