Pros

Relax European working environment, long holidays, short working hours and very little support from both top management as well as supporting staff.

Cons

Bonus has been shrinking ever since BNP acquisition. There has been continuous restructuring of org chart and investment process and style, which create confusion both internally and externally.

Business Outlook

Pros

BNP Paribas is the leading investment banking in france but is still a medium sized actor in the world and one can feel the heritage of state owning.

Cons

As all french companies, BNP Paribas lacks flexibility in terms of human resources. There are huge inefficiencies and hard working people are not always rewarded.

Great name to have on your CV, salary very below par, weak senior management and no recognition for work done

Pros

Good Job security. Good name to have on your CV (carries weight when looking for another job).

Cons

Senior Management in UK are relatively weak. Decision making is slow. This can be a positive, but can also result in heaps of inefficiency and uneccessarily slow, as is the case in BNPP UK. Being a branch, you are still subject to the whims of Paris via Brussels. IT Service desk & facilities are the worst in class. Some systems were still not working when I left. Worst of all, a lot of the front line staff, including senior management simply gave the impression that they did not want to be there (stuck, because they can't find anything elsewhere?).
