HSBC

• Good work/life balance
• Decent salary

• Corporate logic - we were hiring people to our team, but at the same time, management was firing people because of 'lack of budget'
• Not an interesting job
• Mainly integration, so your main work as a Java expert is to do configuration in JSON and fix mappings
• Lots of processes and procedures
• Lack of bonuses
• Lack of any payment reevaluation
• What you negotiate, you will receive till the end of your days
• Not many experienced people
• Pathologic finance management
• They hire like crazy at the beginning of the year to get people to work on their success, and at the end of the year, they fire them to get some "big money savings"

Learn to get your financial goals done in another way than firing 500 people at the end of the year.
