It's really a commercial bank biz; Investment Banking remains primarily a huge prop trading biz

Director cib

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Balance sheet; most non-french staff (and junior french staff) are quality and helpful; desire to grow the CIB business;

Cons

Paris centric! Extremely political management, and you thought public office was bad; Tight on resources but big on expectations and demands; compensation is like the Academy Awards, is it your turn this year

Business Outlook

Pros

good solid company, well know name, looks good on CV, can be ruthless when needed good ceo

Cons

Too political - a lot of things done for show - middle management is poor. Communications team is unprofessional and the advertising is embarassing. Not international - everything is paris based and paris-minded. It is like exporting Camembert and and pretending it is a kraft cheese slice - it looks frenc, tastes french and smells french - get over it..
