Nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Even small kirana stores have got better management. Life's big mistake you will do if you join MSS accounting and valuation process. Lots of people started resigning and still resigning and joined good organizations where they are valued. Not like HSBC.

Dislikes

Leaves policy is just pathetic. You wont get leave even in emergency. Or if any one on leave the same day. Leaves will lapse and as per policy wont get carry forward. Management is crap. Does not have brains because of which the process suffers and ultimately you will be held responsible for all the happenings. No training they will give. Will make you sign and accept that you got trained on everything and you are master now. Wont help you ever in problems. Only scold you and behave badly. 9 hrs will be filled with meeting and calls just to scare you and pressurize you nothing more. Oh god is this an alien company! Seems so it is from other world. No increment yearly forget about promotion.Even small scale startups give decent hike compared to hsbc. Nonsense cab booking system. Lots of restrictions and ultimately you have to log off go home wasting your own valuable money. No breaks. Fininsh one clients work and shift to next even if work and time is clashing. Managers and seniors will screw you. Seems they like bullying people. Abolutly toxic people Shame on them You wont have any desk to sit and work. Can you imagine your working for the company and its struggle to find desk everyday! Dont understand should i laugh or cry! Notice period different for everyone. Some have 3 months and some have 2 months and that too in same process. What to say! Total hopeless and nonsense system. Come on guys we are in 2024. There are lot more companies to explore and explore different work. They will treat you better atleast than this idiot organisation. Dont go by its name HSBC they think they are the only one who can buy you and your life. Dont sell yourself to them. Dont join. Wait good opportunities will come to you. But joining here you will lose your mental peace. Don't let it happen. I have suffered but dont want anyone to suffer....Read More

All the people atleast in my team share similar struggles. Knowledge wise its a good starting point.

Dislikes

Make us work without any mercy, not having any meetings (And even if they did its only for formality just to maintain records in paper). And during year end reviews these people would say, you don't know how to code, not able/not even trying to understand anything. You know what's worse I was told I am supposed to do QA and Peer Review for which its clearly labelled that only GCB 5 and above are eligible and I am GCB 6, so only senior analysts/product owners are eligible. We do all the work for these guys, and in the end these same people throw shit right on our faces. (In Indian office) And you know what's worse, I used to send all the monthly updates, forcibly used to have a quarterly meeting to understand if there is any improvement I need to do. And you know what my manager said, its either “You are all good technically” or “You need to work on your coding skills and you are not working properly” I used to ask him clearly like what do you mean by not coding/working properly and I used to show him that monthly work progress sheet as well. At that time he used to keep his mouth shut. This so called manager knows that I am doing my best to get the job done, in spite of my personal circumstances like both of my parents passing away, then comes the fallout of the situation, property disputes, etc. Still that person chose to do this. Shame on him....Read More

Great stakeholders, good HR, good flexibility.

Dislikes

Office politics, biased hikes, individuals with great potential have to struggle under toxic culture. Especially in small teams. I understand respecting your manager keeping them posted on what you do etc. but what’s not nice is that some managers here sabotage your ideas just to favor their preferential candidates and it’s not based on merit but based on how you beg or please them. In my experience only my work should highlight my personality and I will respect my manager if respects my work, but please don’t expect me to be your labor. Because you and I work in the same organisation and so be fair and treat your employees the way you want your manager to treat you....Read More
