BNP Paribas reviews

- Compensation and salary increments are well below market. Had to beg for a pay increase and promotion, which was a very negative experience and a top reason I left. - Poor HR management and it was almost non-existent. Internal transfer requests were managed very poorly and provides very limited support for the employee. - No transparency on corporate ranks and pay-scale. It makes career progression very unclear and blurred. It means that teams appear very flat but someone doing the same thing as you could be compensated twice as much as you. - Work processes and escalation go throughs too many people within middle management which has little effect on the outcome of the decision (too many layers). It wastes a lot of unnecessary time and resources from the initial stakeholder. - Internal Stake-holders do not communicate well with each other and are often not very collaborative. Work can be pushed around and be left for ages without proper ownership. - Slow on systems development which are very outdated. The systems are not very user friendly and demands a lot of manual work around. - Culture is very reserved. The relationship between different functions can be very bureaucratic - Lack of Diversity in Management. If you are non-French speaking, you can feel excluded and distant.

There is a reason why the team cannot fill roles after the huge turnover of staff last year, very toxic environment. Management are French men with zero diversity and totally dismissive of women. Don't bother with HR, they only defend the retaliation actions of management. The most racist and sexist place I have ever worked. The diversity agenda has been ignored and upper division management are ok with this. There is no work-life balance and the only people who succeed are weak foreigners preferred by management because they have no lives outside of work. Promotions are given to management favorites and not on merit.
