Bureaucratic and frustrating; incompetence is acceptable

Pros

Some well qualified and hard working colleagues

Cons

French laissez-faire: it's not my problem. They have little competence, no urgency, and no accountability. For them, vacation is the most important aspect of work. French misunderstanding of American business. Provides French -level standards of customer service and quality (low, during European time zone) even when told this isn't competitive with U.S. competitors. French-installed leaders manage upward, not downward

Pros

Great vacation, but that's about it!

Cons

Compensation is way below market and BNP prides its 'compensation restraint.' Great place to start, but not to stay or advance. Don't try to get a promotion or notice unless you are French- it's useless and you won't get recognized.
