Why is HSBC so cheap?

Why do they only offer $150k for associates and no room to negotiate for a signing or relocation? Are they actually a reputable shop in the U.S.? Will they go bust during the next financial crisis? Also, what's the WLB like at the firm? Exit coming from the shop? What's culture like? Is it a good place to be a career banker?
