Business outlook
Pros
HSBC is probably the most culturally diverse international banks in the US. Strong international connection. Plenty of internal transfer or job rotation opportunities to broaden your skill set and exposure. Strong focus on values at the high level.
Cons
Deep hierarchy and silo greatly minimizes the effectiveness of the organization. Does not encourage knowledge sharing, making silo effect worse. Lack of consistent business strategy. Too big and too complicated to make it effective.
