Business Outlook

Pros

Very dynamic and engaging work environment where staff is encouraged to participate. Some of the managers are very respectful of staff and take decisions based on input.

Cons

Teams are only as good as the members, especially the management. The big obstacle at BNP Paribas is the lack of quality management at the top. While managers are excellent, majority is promoted and awarded based on politics and Paris connections.

Bank of zero-employee-dignity

Business analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Offer some work-life balances which you couldn't find it in many local banks but it also depends highly on the projects/jobs you work on.

Cons

The management uses ungracious tactics to remove employees during economy downturn to avoid giving compensations for former layoffs or retrenchment. They would first appraised the employee unfairly with the lowest rating even though the employee didn't deserve the low rating. And that they would mention during the appraisal review session that your rendering of work in this company is insignificant and they have no better position to offer you to work in and if you choose to remain working in your current position, you'll be subjected to monthly performance scrutiny.
