      HSBC NA is closing down major businesses in USA, not the best place to work anymore.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work/life balance, training opportunities and global brand recognition. Diverse workforce and true international presence and recognition. Nice incentive program and generous vacation policy for full time employees.

      Cons

      Badly impacted in last three years due to sub-prime mortgage crises that resulted in closing down of major business operations in North America and mass lay-offs. Career growth and compensation is not based on performance but politics. Low employee morale due to ambiguous employee performance management policies.
