Pros

HSBC has a great brand in most countries. The company provides opportunities to get positions in other countries, enabling you exposure that is very unique. The company has a strong focus on emerging markets, providing opportunities to get exposure into these economies.

Cons

Very slow organization, lots of red tape around everything. Not the place for entrepreneurship... Salaries are OK, nothing special, around average. Many people are being promoted just cause they have been there for ages, not cause they are good.
