Pros

It's a lot of work, and you'll spend a lot of time at the office-- but compared to the other banks on the street, the work-life balance is fantastic. Management cares about you and your needs. Big international bank, meaning there is a lot of room for growth, but being in the NY office, it's is small and your growth and successes are noticed.

Cons

Lots of turnover. Need to invest a lot of hours.

Pros

Comfortable environment, colleagues generally nice

Cons

Lots of room for improvement in meritocracy & objective value added appraisals. A lot of foreigners even in junior to middle level roles where local talents are plentiful.

BNP Paribas Response

Thank you for this feedback. As you know our history takes its roots in France but we are now present in 75 countries. We are adapting to this international context by making our top management more diverse. Changes are already happening as 43% of our Senior Managers are now non-French citizens*. The process is still ongoing, but it is already showing results and we highly appreciate our employees’ feedback on the topic. (*End 2014 figures)
