Pros

Hikes better than service based organisations

Cons

Managers are promoted just due to their number of experience with minimal skills Employees are forced to sit on desk and managers are not open to allow the team to learn new skills saying it is irrelevant for the project. Constant monitoring of on desk hours as they have sapient tool installed on every system. WFH is there in policy but manager will never allow to take it mostly. Managers do not have managerial skills and will say my team my rules in the meeting.They feel as if employees are working for him and not HSBC. Hire and fire policy in HSBC.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
