Pros

Very talented and dedicated group of employees that are committed to accomplishing the impossible. Investing in Digital Transformation. Great benefits.

Cons

Absolutely zero work life balance or room for growth in US. Teams are understaffed for demand and expected to work long hours, nights and weekends with little time to avoid burnout. Leadership expected to spend a large amount of time on non value added tasks. HSBC announced they plan to exit its US domestic mass market retail banking business but will drain everything they can out of their employees until they lay them off.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
