Pros: It is a very good organization and it provides a very good working environment.

Cons: I really don't feel anything bad about this organization.

Pros: Work culture is good, a healthy environment for growth.

Cons: No cons as specific to mention.

Pros: Some teams/departments have great technology - RBWM Digital, GBM, etc. Some managers are understanding and easily give WFH. Most colleagues are supportive and approachable; the same goes for most managers. The leave system (25-30 privilege and 10 sick, 10 consecutive mandatory) is one of the best in the industry.

Cons: Low focus on tech (bank-first, tech-company-later approach). Little to no focus on agile and devops. If you begin to work well, you will get burdened with the work of entire projects on your own. Cumbersome approach for approvals for anything tech-related, ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Senior management have categorically stated that they will never let go of 'heritage' tech like mainframes, which means most tech of HSBC will be stuck in the 60s. Few aspects like strict dress code, bad cafeteria food, and bad seating management on floors need to be improved quickly.
