      A place for retirement, not for career progression; Office environment seems to be the 80s

      Pros

      Working in ITO, the only pro is that if you are just an average performer, you can still survive in this organization (at least in ITO). I have seen people who are paper pusher and quality of work left much to be desired, yet they are still with the bank for a long time.

      Cons

      - Promotion is mostly based on how long you are with the bank; You can perform well but if it is not your turn yet, you can never get promoted. I have seen one co-worker who had been with the bank for more than 6 years, his only contribution was 1 single project for the entire work year, ye he got promoted. - ITO office in 20CQ is a joke for a foreign bank. Decor looks like the 80s and frequent toilet breakdown (urinals overflowing with urine) - Office demography is about 30% locals. When a local leave, manager will take opportunity to get one of their own (race, nationality) as replacement. - Management never care about staff welfare, main concern is on project schedule and budget. It's basically a factory here. - Bonus is pathetic (not like basic salary is any better). Managers will always say bank is still recovering from fine, but bonus is always record-breaking each year.

      Average employer non competitive environment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      V slow like Indian Government office kind of culture not only in India office but globally. Hence good to retire as no work pressure and almost similar increments to all. Easy to manage work life balance as things r very slow and nothin moves ahead. Team Managers senior management r hired with expectations to manage people n project only and are not supposed to know BAU or products or subject. Hence good for SME working in teams as they run the whole show and get good opportunity to learn every thing which helps in growing during job change

      Cons

      No salary band Manager might be at v low salary comparing to its reporting team Unorganised setup nothing is documented n most of the departments r lethargic No goals n objective settings increments r similar to all but but high for favourites only including bonus Interview n offer letter process takes more then 3months as HR is very slow including business who need to respond to HR for any queries etc. No scope for high performer outsider to move at management level as the senior management is old furniture in company who has not changed nor moved ahead. They keep every thing to them and expect other staff to just do BAU and people management rest aspects are managed by few Old senior staff only.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very dynamic and engaging work environment where staff is encouraged to participate. Some of the managers are very respectful of staff and take decisions based on input.

      Cons

      Teams are only as good as the members, especially the management. The big obstacle at BNP Paribas is the lack of quality management at the top. While managers are excellent, majority is promoted and awarded based on politics and Paris connections.
