      Pros

      HSBC has a lot of opportunities to make things better, and there's an enormous amount of work that truly needs to get done.

      Cons

      Management makes up its mind what it wants, and wants to hear, and if it doesn't hear it, it shoots the messenger. Those that report what management wants to hear are rewarded, and usually move to another role before the chickens come home to roost.

      Pros

      Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

      Cons

      At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
