An expanding investment bank division, but a very demanding environment

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Profitable and growing bank, which has successfully weathered the financial crisis. BNP Paribas has expanded its operations and network during the last years, and is now one of the leading financial institutions in the world

Cons

The Corporate & Investment Banking division has recently employed several managers coming from US investment banks (Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns), bringing a new, very competitive, stressing mentality - that hardly impacted on employees.
