Business Outlook

Pros

- Smart, competent colleagues, especially amongst the junior staff - French banking culture (e.g. laid-back co-workers, informal environment) - Great learning opportunities due to flat structure of the organization - Very diverse workforce

Cons

- Low pay, especially at the most junior levels - Relies too heavily on off-cycle interns from French business schools, which involves a high turnover rate - Location in London (i.e. Marylebone) is terrible. BNP Paribas is far from the 2 major financial districts in London (the City and Canary Wharf) which limits networking opportunities
