Vantaggi

After really thinking about it, the only Pro I could come up with is BNPP's Generous time off policy, but that's about it.

Svantaggi

After having had to pay an $8.9B fine, the bank is having to reinvent itself. It's organization is a disaster and there are layers upon layers of redundancies. It is an organization that constantly refers back to the way things were in the past. Work/life balance is terrible as the bank is focused on doing more and more without assessing whether the incremental workload adds value (i.e lack of common sense and focus on the big picture). Yet, decisions are hard to come by and there are a lot of power struggles between the French and US personnel. Unless you are French, you'll always be a 2nd class citizen. HR process are non-existent and overall they are a useless organization.

Vantaggi

The only good thing about this place were the Nespresso machines.

Svantaggi

I rarely leave reviews, but future job seekers deserve fair warning. From day one, it was clear that micromanagement was a core operating principle here; not a quirk, but a feature. Managers routinely hovered over routine tasks, demanded pointless status updates multiple times a day, constantly changed directives, took credit for my work, and treated experienced professionals like they couldn't be trusted to send an email unsupervised. Any sense of autonomy was purely cosmetic. The culture was equally poisonous. Gossip wasn't background noise; it was practically a department function. Colleagues regularly spoke poorly of one another behind closed doors, cliques formed and hardened fast, and if you weren't part of the right group, you felt it. Unkind doesn't begin to cover it. Basic professionalism and common decency were in short supply. Management set the tone for all of it. Leaders who should have modeled integrity instead participated in the drama, played favorites openly, and addressed conflict with either complete avoidance or outright retaliation. HR was not a resource — it was a shield for bad behavior at the top. I left for my own sanity. The turnover rate here should tell you everything. Life is too short and your career too important to spend either in an environment like this one.
