Pros

After really thinking about it, the only Pro I could come up with is BNPP's Generous time off policy, but that's about it.

Cons

After having had to pay an $8.9B fine, the bank is having to reinvent itself. It's organization is a disaster and there are layers upon layers of redundancies. It is an organization that constantly refers back to the way things were in the past. Work/life balance is terrible as the bank is focused on doing more and more without assessing whether the incremental workload adds value (i.e lack of common sense and focus on the big picture). Yet, decisions are hard to come by and there are a lot of power struggles between the French and US personnel. Unless you are French, you'll always be a 2nd class citizen. HR process are non-existent and overall they are a useless organization.
