Pros

One of the best global banks to work in the world that accepts diversity and is a leader in banking. Unlike what people think, BNPP is actually bigger than Citi, JP & BOFA Merrill Lynch in the US & pays comparable to Goldman Sachs on Wall street.

Cons

The drawback for working at French bank is that the bank's culture has silos and management decision making is concentrated at the top where most executives speak French. Depending on where you work and what position you are in - you might see redundant process oriented work & a more bureaucratic work environment with boring culture.
