All about the numbers
Team Lead / Sr. Analyst (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 13 August 2018
Unfortunately, this work place started out great but ended up being less about doing things ethically and more about just getting it done. Sad way to do it in an AML field where quality should matter more than quantity. How many times I've been told that as we get closer to being "BAU" we will focus more on quality...

Working with HSBC was great, had wonderful team members and team leaders, who were willngly to put me through the various processes when i first resumed. After getting well rooted into the system I was in turn able to help new and old members as well.

Overall good place to learn
Assistant Manager Finance (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 28 June 2018
hings really are different here. A career with HSBC in Canada is truly an experience that few financial service organisations can match. Here you will find yourself inspired and supported by colleagues whose daily responsibilities cross time zones, continents and cultures. You will be motivated to aim for your highest aspirations, and enjoy the rewards of belonging to a diverse and growth-driven culture.
They are always cutting positions
Global IT Product Manager and Deployment (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 24 June 2018
The many years i worked at HSBC, they were always having hiring freezes and job restructuring making difficult to plan anything. However, big company and opportunities in different countries,
Global reach, Canadian impact
Senior Media Relations Manager (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 13 June 2018
An international mindset is key to make the most of your work experience there. HSBC is a very large organization, and has weathered some very nasty storms. I believe it is in a good place now, both here in Canada and globally.
A typical day tasks
Technical Project Manager (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 12 June 2018
As a Technical Lead or Solution Lead will start my day in morning with stand up meeting to know about the status of project which I am handling, will understand technical and business requirements.. leverage what and how can we achieve by looking at all possibilities.

Pros
Free work hours, Work from home
Cons
Long Hours
Roll up your sleeves
Compliance (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 29 May 2018
One's experience will greatly depend on your role/responsibility level and team lead. It can go from a supportive and friendly team to bullying, you will have to earn your $ and reputation, which still won't guarantee your longevity. This being said, if you are very proactive there are opportunities to learn (on your own) and gain valuable expertise. Work life balance will depend on your ambition, 9-5 won't cut it if you want to get noticed.
Pros
flexible work, stimulating and dynamic environment, good pay and benefits.
Cons
bureaucratic, work load and necessity to promote oneself, cover your back and put in long hours
Best plece to build a fulfilling career and work with colleagues and customers around the world.
Senior Manager (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 29 May 2018
HSBC is of one of the world’s largest financial services organizations and I was fortunate to have worked with this Global Bank. I had the opportunity to work with some great Managers and colleagues and have developed my skills to achieve my career aspirations.
HSBC offers a bespoke approach to flexible working that enables staff to choose a work pattern that suits them Example: Work from home option.
HSBC values diversity and inclusion and supports all such initiatives Example: South Asian Network for Diversity & Inclusion (SANDI), Sponsor Sports activities such as Canadian Corporate Cricket League.
HSBC also provides with professional development and career opportunities. It was due to this Global Bank's footprint in different countries that enabled me to smoothly immigrate to Canada.
In summary, HSBC is a Best Place to Work.

Lowest pay grade in the industry
Premium Banker (Former Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 28 May 2018
very poor training program. You need to stand alone in the second week once start. HSBC changes policies very frequency, so you must keep close attention to company policies.
Good experience especially for first job
Lead Testing Analyst (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 23 May 2018
Great atmosphere with good management although it depends on the managers you're under. Able to travel internationally for project, however the pay could be boosted.
