HSBC

• Work-life balance
• Good brand value

• Discrimination against outsiders
• More use of local language at the office rather than English
• Cannot trust management; they will lie to you
• Bad politics
• Slow promotion, and promotions don't necessarily mean big growth in salary
• You would expect it's a big company with lots of revenue, but management will always cut corners and save money at your cost. Your salary will not be corrected if it is below your market rate or if it is below the benchmark in your team.
• Misleading job offers: They can change your team, your work, or your shift after you join. They can change your position after you join. This is cheating, as we join a company after careful consideration of other alternatives. They will use every loophole in the game to do that. Your position and team can be inconsistent on your payslip just so that they don't have to give you a salary correction.

If you are a non-Bengali outsider, do not make the decision to join this company. Try other cosmopolitan cities.
