Business Outlook

Pros

It is the biggest bank in europe. So it recruits a lot of people. It has a good working ambiance. We have plenty of internal mobility opportunities for us to choose projects we want to work on.

Cons

English is not quite popular. French is important. Kind of conservative. They are not quite open to foreigners. French people tend to have more promoting opportunities.

Unhelpful HR staff and stressful hiring process

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great team approached me to work with them - Friendly staff reflective of good culture - Great benefits

Cons

- went through an HR nightmare with BNP, their HR representative was unhelpful as I went through the most stressful background check of my life - they will scrutinize every aspect of your background and are not available to hear you out when you try and communicate an explanation - I felt I was being scrutinized and then accused of falsifying my credentials - I had already quit my job before when I accepted with BNP. Had I known about this process I would have waited it out. - if you're considering this company make sure you have all your ducks in a row before signing. Ultimately I received a pre-adverse notice without any explanation.
