About the company

HSBC

Company overview
HSBC is a global bank and financial services group serving individuals, businesses, and institutional clients. The company offers retail and wealth banking, commercial banking, and corporate and investment banking services, alongside functions like risk, operations, finance, and technology. HSBC runs large service and operations hubs in multiple countries in addition to customer-facing branches and offices. The company’s student and graduate pathways span banking, markets, technology, and relationship management roles.

Locations and presence

HSBC operates across a large international office network with major hubs in places like London, Hong Kong, and other regional centres, alongside sizeable service operations sites in markets such as the Philippines. The company offers hybrid working in some roles, but published guidance and reporting shows HSBC also sets clear expectations for regular in-office attendance in parts of the organisation.

Palpable Score

/ 100
HSBC is one of the more accessible large banks for early-career candidates because the company runs insight programmes, internships, apprenticeships, and graduate programmes across multiple countries and job families. HSBC is also clearer than many peers on what the recruitment journey looks like, including timed stages and assessment formats, although pay transparency still varies a lot by country and role. Early-career outcomes look positive through visible progression paths, but HSBC does not publish consistent, company-owned progression and retention metrics for graduates.
