Good worklife balance, compensation below market

Vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

European culture, work-life balance, conservative risk management which is proving to be a great upside in this market, invests in employee development, excellent benefits package, management is generally understanding and pleasant to work for as the company culture does not embrace the cutthroat approach of firms like Bear

Cons

Overly conservative to the point of beaurocratic, primary decision-making is with the Paris headquarters, underinvestment in the US, compensation has a lot of room for improvement, compensation also varies greatly among departments which leaves many employees disgruntled, there is some face time in certain departments

A good bank with a human face but some conservatism

Middle office (investment banking)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A solid firm with international exposure and a positive/constructive corporate spirit. Possibility to start from the bottom (B/o)and reach the top in your business (f/o). You don't get fired (m/O LEVEL) everytime the market is down. The balance of private life / work is good.

Cons

Not more than the usual for big firms in general. Big structure as usual dilute the appreciation of your effort by management. The approach is conservative at BNP, innovation is not easy to sell to management (but doable). Saying that this approach saved the bank and unlike other Invest. banks it didn't suffer too much of the recent slowdown (still making good profit).

Assistant vice president

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good, 401k matches , etc. and the people i worked with directly are great.

Cons

Benefits are good, and if its a place you want to stay in and do the same thing over and over, well here is the place to be. This company provides for a safe haven for folks that want to work securely for a long time, receive decent benefits, pay and bonus and do the same work for the rest of their lives if they choose to stay that long. This company is filled with many layers of unnecessary management that clearly do nothing but look at for themselves while making sure their employess do nothing to advanced past their managers while they are under them.
