Pros

Other then the management the general staff in most departments were very good people to work with. In most cases I found that communication was good. When there weren't so many economic crises usually the pay and general feed back you received was positive.

Cons

In the current economic times the upper management decisions are poor at best. It feels as if they are only thinking from short term perspective rather then long term. It makes for a very unsettled work environment. Generally the pay and bonuses at BNP are the lowest in the financial world.

Pros

Relax European working environment, long holidays, short working hours and very little support from both top management as well as supporting staff.

Cons

Bonus has been shrinking ever since BNP acquisition. There has been continuous restructuring of org chart and investment process and style, which create confusion both internally and externally.

Pros

BNP Paribas is the leading investment banking in france but is still a medium sized actor in the world and one can feel the heritage of state owning.

Cons

As all french companies, BNP Paribas lacks flexibility in terms of human resources. There are huge inefficiencies and hard working people are not always rewarded.
