HSBC

1. Good salary if you are lateral.
2. Work-life balance.
3. Office parties are quite often.
4. Can learn the banking domain.

1. Managers are partial and don't know anything technical. They are supposed to do only functional things at times.

2. Lots of politics due to a bad rating policy. They call it the (70 20 10) policy.

3. If you don't get a good project, then company change is the only option.

4. Too much manager driven; HR plays no role.

5. Very difficult to change projects. Most IJPs are fake. It's easy to change a company.

6. Most people are here for enjoyment and know very little technical things.

7. Hires from any engineering college; need smart and techy people.

8. No bench.

9. Little on-site opportunities.

Need better policies for appraisals, grievances, and project changes. Top management needs to keep a check on managers.
