BNP Paribas reviews

Far too many decesions are made in the head office which slows down the process to get the task completed

Power is consolidated in the hands of a few. The idea of management is broadly applied to many non-essential layers in order to perpetuate the notion of advancement. In reality this feeds a pyramid structure that adds little or no value and often demotivates the one or two resources at the bottom that are responsible for any of the real work. I have worked in groups where there are literally 4 or 5 'managers' for one resource. Since there is really only one level of management that actually controls your compensation, there is often very little recognition of good work down the management chain, nor is there any true motivation to do more than a perceived benchmark. A bigger focus is put on the process than the product. Hours upon hours of wasted time on internal processes and bookkeeping. If you like to track your time, this is the job for you.
