Pros

best things is work life balance. It is best place for those who want to live their career in single setup/framework, don't want to learn new things and happy with doing same thing every day and who want to do lots of CSR and team building exercises. jobs are very safe even in the recession time. working for a respectable banking brand

Cons

middle management is not fair in dealing with work force, lacks innovative management approach and not interested in improving the current situation. If any suggestion is given, usually no action is taken. opportunities are not equal to every employee. If you don't ask things, you will never get it whether promotion or onsite. HSBC GLT does not match to the reputation of the banking brand of HSBC

Pros

used to be the way the company went and promoted their workers, but recent economy sent upper level management to treat employees like trash

Cons

upper level management - the harsh economy and their retaliation towards employees to get them to quit - moving the wrong direction
