      Investment banking - prop. trading division : few competent people - unhealthy atmosphere

      Proprietary trader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some activities are located in Paris. 44 days of vacation with a french contract.

      Cons

      Compensation not in line with competitors and related to length of service rather than perf. Very few competent managers. Very little motivation in support teams. Lots of constraints on the trading side : many useless internal after-trades procedures, existence of mandates. Too much testosterone on the trading floor : unecessary stress + unhealthy cultur + sexist environment...

      BNP Paribas Structured Finance, a lot smart people, average management

      Associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In my experience (structured finance), staff quality of the european offices is very good, working atmosphere is fairly friendly and working hours are comparable to other BB Investment Banks. Leading position in Europe makes for interesting projects and A-list clients. Juniors are usually quickly involved in all aspects of transactions making a great place to learn.

      Cons

      BNP Paribas' compensation packages are generally below market for junior and mid-level positions. Being a very large organization internal processes are fairly cumbersome and bureaucratic. Internal mobility level is low and career path can be slow (although with the after effects of the financial crisis it is probably true of many large corporate/investments banks. Management qualities are not really valued, resulting in average (sometimes poor) mid-level management.
