Pros

1] Good Salary [ Infact that is a strategy to retain employees as they wont be hired elsewhere at the same Pkg as their current Pkg will be way too high as per Market] 2] Being a Bank, it gives good bonus amount. 3] Freedom to take leave whenever required.

Cons

1] No Work Quality. 2] Zero appreciation from the Team Leads. 3] No Onsite oppurtunities. 4] People are not professional + Zero work ethics. 5] CMMI Level 2 Company i.e. No defined Processes involved.

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

Vacation days are above average. Year budget is relatively low than competitors (but has been increasing in the past 2 years).

Cons

Most of the employees are poorly paid. Only managers and top performers are paid above 70% of the money they should been paid. The rest--about 30% compared to workers in US banks with the same job. The bank has been running toward a wrong direction--what BNPP really need is to streamline their business and leverage their trading, IT and supporting functions but instead the management hired a lot of very expensive sales people in 2009/2010, leaving a monstrous sales force the bank can not really support. Pricing from the trading is still below average, client on-boarding takes months, market strategies are stubborn one-way bet, and the IT system is a joke.
