Pros

It is the biggest bank in europe. So it recruits a lot of people. It has a good working ambiance. We have plenty of internal mobility opportunities for us to choose projects we want to work on.

Cons

English is not quite popular. French is important. Kind of conservative. They are not quite open to foreigners. French people tend to have more promoting opportunities.

Pros

they pay well, but be prepared to work 12h per day. I got a bad note because one time I was not on line after 8pm. VERY COMPETITIVE environment ( in a bad way).

Cons

Some Managers don't even look at your work, but they judge you just by your look. I made HR aware of some discrimination and anti ethic behaviors, but they told me " this is how it works here". I can t wait to find a new opportunity.
