      Does HSBC really "Live the Brand?"

      Pros

      The pay is deecent. Nothing really special. They do allow employees to take time off and the location is pretty decent. They offer an onsite cafeteria and the job has benefits.

      Cons

      The management staff seemed out of touch like John McCain. They change something everyday and they Pride themselves on Living the Brand.......which is B.S. We try to be Respectful, Responsive, Progressive, Perceptive, and Fair. How about we learn how to communicate with Management open & Honestly?

      Pros

      Secure, stable, established. Would be a good place to try if you want to see what it's like in a really big bank. Lots of benefits such as food and beverage, special offers etc. afforded by the bulk of the employee population. Has very high level of brand-recognition at least in Hong Kong.

      Cons

      Probably too big to manage effectively. Everyone pretty much becomes a cog in the machine, unless you become senior management or happen to work in a fairly independent division / location. With such size, it's difficult to avoid bureaucracy. At least in Hong Kong, back-office functions can be so narrowly defined, while overseeing a complex range of customers, that no one really has the 'big picture'. There often is a disconnect between what top level management sees and what actually happens at the working level. e.g. organisation of divisions is viewed differently depending on the level it is viewed by.
