HSBC reviews

Many senior leaders who don’t have the ethics or gravitas to be at that level but are promoted regardless and then guard their position jealously Definitely a boys’ club in Comms at senior level Lots of talk about inclusion and culture but it doesn’t translate into reality, even by HR. Long hours and expectation to check email during evenings and weekends, regardless. Yes it’s a global workplace but we all need and deserve a balance and to switch off regularly.

- Painfully slow-moving in every regard - Too many chefs in the kitchen, everyone involved in everything - Stubborn, egotistical management - Complicated, convoluted processes with absolutely everything - Outdated systems - Money is the only thing that matters - Entire projects shelved at last minute - Dictatorship, with everyone's livelihoods decided at the top without discussion or communication - Criminally underpaid and undervalued
