Pros

Very dynamic and engaging work environment where staff is encouraged to participate. Some of the managers are very respectful of staff and take decisions based on input.

Cons

Teams are only as good as the members, especially the management. The big obstacle at BNP Paribas is the lack of quality management at the top. While managers are excellent, majority is promoted and awarded based on politics and Paris connections.

Pros

Excellent benefits that compensate for salary not being as competitive. Opportunity will based on the team you are on and how that team is being managed. There is potential for excellent work and opportunity, but you must know how to navigate that with its corporate culture. Internal mobility is helpful but you need to network to facilitate that and make the transition work.

Cons

Salary is not competitive; you have to navigate your career by yourself, but if you end up on the wrong team, you are left with minimal opportunity and essentially work with what is left or move on. Some teams are not very diverse and can leave you at a disadvantage in being successful.
