BNP Paribas reviews

I had heard before I joined BNPP that the culture let the Bank down and unfortunately I saw for myself when I was there the extent to which the Bank tolerates bullying in the London office even when employees formally raise it. HR do openly accept appalling behaviour that other Banks just wouldn’t tolerate.

- Company has become too American, losing its soul in the process - Company promotes ESG/CSR/Impact Investing but there is very little time for volunteer work - very political with fiefdoms - difficult to move into other functions and teams - top-down management style - there's always a business restructuring regardless of whether they're needed - too many meetings -people waste each other's time - no room for independent thinking (too much group think) - decisions are usually made out of fear (of regulators, other teams, bosses, etc..) - little cultural diversity - no ethnic diversity - the company claims its socially responsible, but no one has any visible disability that's working there - too much pressure to work on periodic and ad hoc reports which few read - very little time to think and be creative - company is outsourcing as many functions as possible which lowers moral - employees feel as if they're part of a corporate machine - management has not taken enough responsibility for corporate misdeeds - active age discrimination
