Pros

Positive to one self is stay away from this homicide work culture firm.

Cons

Brand Promise and KPI do not match, it publicises that it is a No revenue Target Organisation, please don't fall for it, it is a hell scam; it is a place of hell to screw ones life, career and mental health, if you want to experience or be part of hell in real word, please join HSBC Singapore-International Wealth Hub, you can leave the world early and you would have already experienced hell in real absolute sense; even if you achieve the numbers, you have the risk of getting ousted and there is none from the local business, HR or Group would come to your rescue, there is no systems in place to safe guard the employee, even if you achieve the numbers; line managers are the king makers, there is no value for employees and there is no value for human life..if you love your life and do not want your mental health to get impacted, stay away from inhuman place, as HSBC Singapore produce one of the lowest revenue in the whole of Singapore among the best clients, hence we would not make money, not learn, not grow and we get frustrated, humiliated, cannot understand the systems well and move out soon, just not worth giving any nano milli second of our life or career to HSBC Singapore; it impacts our mental health, physical health and our mental health of our families and extended families too. as an employee, we would not be heard and we cannot expect any support culture, just suppression, incivility, toxicity, ultra poor in clear communications and create fear in the name so called No revenue target organisation. Brand Promise is there for clients and not for the employees. it is not a pro business place and the Head of Scorecard himself, calls this place as confused bank, please stay away from this place, if you value your lives, it is just not worth a try, please try some other place, don't come closer to this place, I write with an experience of working in 5different countries and 5different banks.

Pros

Nothing great to shout about

Cons

Manager is still adopting condescending style to manage team. If there are mistake found by one staff no matter how trivial urgent meeting held and will be scolded and put down in front of the whole team instead of going for one-to-one coaching or correction of mistake. One of the worst banks in their management style. Feedback is also one way, manager to staff and manager is never receptive of any constructive feedback. It’s her way or no way.

Pros

Longest Annual Leave of 26 days, plus 6 days of Childcare Leave. Great colleagues and nice bosses. If you can work in HSBC, you can weather all storms in other companies.

Cons

Competent and yet very overworked staff, due to they do not wish to replace staff that have resigned. A lot of systems, if you want to check certain information. Super slow and long processes, as they have outsourced it to other countries. Don't want to upgrade the systems, due to costs...........
