Business Outlook
Pros
There are plenty of global opportunities at HSBC from the investment banking division to retail and private banking. HSBC are a cash-rich bank that is well positioned to take advantage of the current economic climate - they have taken substantial losses but have a diverse ebough portfolio to have coped well with the last few years. You will need to network hard but the rewards are there and there is a good medium for cross-functional communcations. Plenty of annual leave and flexible working options. The investment banking division is condusive to raising a family unlike many other large US investment banks.
Cons
old boys club in some area's - limited training and pro education opportunities
