Business outlook
Pros
HSBC has a tremendously diverse culture and allows employees the opportunity to travel around the world. There is much security in such a global and diverse company. HSBC promotes upward mobility and recommends new jobs every few years. This allows for a great overall understanding of such a large company.
Cons
HSBC has an extremely conservative culture when compared to other large U.S. financial institutions. But hey, maybe thats why they haven't tanked yet. Right now the processes are inefficient and are in major need of automation. I would say that overall, processes are 75% manual and 25% automated. From speaking with employees who have worked at other large banks, HSBC is behind.
