Challenging Experience with Scope for Better Communication - Assistant Vice President HSBC Employee Review

I worked with the organization for around 1 year, primarily on a stakeholder-facing project in the banking domain. One of the major challenges I faced was a lack of clear communication from the onsite team. Instructions and expectations were often not well-articulated, which made it difficult to fully understand requirements and deliver effectively. Additionally, I did not have prior experience in the banking domain, yet there was an expectation to quickly adapt without structured knowledge transfer (KT) or proper guidance. Despite not receiving sufficient KT, I was later expected to provide knowledge transfer to others, which felt inconsistent. There were also instances of unclear functional understanding within the team, leading to situations where expectations were high but guidance was minimal. This created confusion and added pressure unnecessarily. Overall, I felt that the work environment could have been more supportive, with better communication, proper onboarding, and fair treatment of team members.
