Pros

- supportive team and good coaching/mentoring - good deal flow in my team

Cons

serious management issues, unacceptable for a bank like HSBC: - verbal return offer from multiple sources but don't matter, they can't keep their word - difficult to get a hold of HR, not picking up phone calls, emails, etc. - not really merit- or performance-based, but rather sponsorship-based (avoid if you are not an American citizen because they do not want to sponsor you!)

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.
