HSBC reviews

I miss the old days where people respected each other. We felt the stress of the bad economy long before the rest of the non-financial world did. This created a very stressful environment where everyone was afraid of losing their job and was only concerned about getting their own work done before helping others. Employees have become a number and are no longer important.

Management and mid-senior managers put in loads of hours and often heavy field travel. Hardcore politics in certain groups or regions. You are in or you are out. Same pay structure in all US markets despite great differences in cost of living. Generally meant lower quality hires in high cost markets.
