Pros

good systems, high risk tolerance

Cons

If you're not french, you're in trouble. French is spoken most of the time on the desk, non french speakers at a huge disadvantage.

Pros

BNP Paribas is a good company to have on your CV, it being one of the largest banks with an international presence. They offer good benefits with average pension matching. The colleagues in this team are young, smart and fun to be around. The offices are also located downtown, which is quite convenient for your daily commute and lunch needs. They also have occasional events and good online training classes on a multitude of subjects, accessible to all.

Cons

There are also many cons to working at this company, which are evidenced by the extremely high turnover rate within the team and to a certain extent the department. Employees have been leaving in droves due to a multitude of factors including inexperienced and terrible management, low salary, unclear procedures/rules, excessively long turnaround times due to inefficiencies and departments being short staffed, large amount of work and not enough support staff, high pressure, etc. It is only worth working here if you don't have much experience under the belt and need a year or two before moving on. At least 70% of the employees are constantly searching for their next move and people are quite unhappy.
