BNP Paribas reviews

BNP Paribas is a very difficult place to work. Salaries are low with no meaningful hikes or growth opportunities. Employees are expected to work overtime regularly without any additional compensation or recognition. The IT infrastructure is extremely poor, resulting in excessive manual work. Most processes are outdated and inefficient, increasing workload and stress unnecessarily. Management is highly micromanaging. Instead of trusting employees, managers constantly monitor availability and add more work if someone finishes tasks efficiently. Employee efficiency is never appreciated or rewarded; it is only used to increase workload. Many managers are rude, unreasonable, and exploitative. There is no effective HR policy or accountability mechanism to protect employees. Managers continue to get promoted despite high attrition, poor team morale, and repeated employee concerns. Serious workplace harassment issues, including sexual harassment complaints, are not handled with the urgency or seriousness they require. Even after formally raising concerns, cases tend to be delayed, minimized, or ignored, leaving employees feeling unsafe and unsupported. The company increasingly relies on interns and trainees, assigning them heavy workloads in the name of “experience” while avoiding fair compensation or proper mentoring. There is a lack of compliance and professionalism. Workplace bias and racism are visible yet ignored. Employees are overworked but not compensated fairly. There are no meaningful employee engagement activities, limited holidays, and leaves are discouraged. Even sick leaves are questioned, creating a toxic and unhealthy work environment. Overall, working here leads to loss of confidence, self-respect, and significant opportunity cost. Employee well-being and dignity are clearly not priorities, and concerns raised by staff are largely ignored.
