      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The culture is much more lifestyle-oriented than other banks (e.g. Great vacation allotments, people genuinely want you to take your days off) - Think its a great place to work if you have a family - Some teams are top in their fields

      Cons

      - Team was a mixed bag, some excellent people, some people who didn't really know what they were doing - Salary is very low compared to competition - Management wasn't great about developing juniors. Structured feedback was once (maybe twice) a year. - Terrible about promotion as well. Doesn't work the same way as other banks, so people tend to leave when they get impatient.

      Pros

      Good American managers, good benefits, large balance sheet

      Cons

      Now hampered by sanctions, hopeless French top managers, compensation will be affected by sanctions, senseless cost cutting

      The French do not know how to run or manage the investment banking business in the US.

      Pros

      There were some very good people there, the office environment in NYC was generally collegial, and the infrastructure and systems while *way below* the quant systems of other big i-banks, were workable if you could program them yourself or get a sheet built for you. The compensation was significantly below the larger banks, but the work hours were less demanding and the amount of vacation was downright absurd (7 weeks).

      Cons

      There was constant tension with Paris or London, who tried to micro-manage every decision or client relationship. They kept people around who never made money, were terrified of making decisions, and hid themselves in layers of opaque management. They also fired people who did make money because they either didn't fit into the culture or challenged management. It was bizarre at times.
