Pros

One of the best global banks to work in the world that accepts diversity and is a leader in banking. Unlike what people think, BNPP is actually bigger than Citi, JP & BOFA Merrill Lynch in the US & pays comparable to Goldman Sachs on Wall street.

Cons

The drawback for working at French bank is that the bank's culture has silos and management decision making is concentrated at the top where most executives speak French. Depending on where you work and what position you are in - you might see redundant process oriented work & a more bureaucratic work environment with boring culture.

Cons

Internal politics rule and upper management acts accordingly. That gives sometimes the feeling of lack of strategy. Contrary to most comments, pay is not subpar, it is just extremely unevenly distributed with most employees earning below market and and one fifth of the workforce being well remunerated. As a new entrant, guess where you ll be...

Pros

Work life balance. Good benefits. No Micro management. Bonus. travel to Paris.

Cons

Poor in Work Culture. Politics in lower level. Mostly managers are converted from contract employee to permanent position, Contract employees will get more recognition and benefits rather than permanent employees. Lack of recognition.
