BNP Paribas reviews

The main office of BNP in France manage other offices around the world like France used to manage its colonies, pure exploitations. They bring back most of the profits back to France where they distribute most of it in bonuses to the same people year after year. They offer low salaries, and bonuses are almost inexistant for back office employees. They will give a prorate bonus in the first year, but forget about getting on in subsequent years. Common practice is to find bogus excuses, and only high management gets a decent percentage, and the lack of employees is putting a lot of pressure on management. Subsequently, the good employees leave and regional management is left with underperformers that can't be fired since they are scarred the main office won't approve the replacement. The mismanagement will lead to fraud or major mistakes since there's not enough employees left in the back office to oversee everything.

The culture sucks. The management sucks. French nationals dominant company. The management does not care about you. They will give you zero flexibility. They are mean to the core and will expect you to be in office until 7 or 8 because the management folks who live right across the street have no life and they come in office at 7 and leave only at 8. Say goodbye to your personal life if you want to work here. You won’t grow here, your work is not valued, you are not valued, you are not heard, your problems are not heard. There is favouritism everywhere and you’ll feel like an outsider if you are a person of color. There are better companies in the market, unless you have nothing in hand, don’t join them.
