Pros

Good Canteen Good work-life balance compared to many banks. Friendly people.

Cons

Endless politics Outdated technology Penny-pinching. Incredibly mean. No means to progress if you are not French. Endless change initiatives that achieve nothing. management totally out of touch with reality. Poor pay in comparison with other players in sector. Company does not give a *** about it's employees. Poor training. You will be used for your skills. Not worth working for.

Pros

good solid company, well know name, looks good on CV, can be ruthless when needed good ceo

Cons

Too political - a lot of things done for show - middle management is poor. Communications team is unprofessional and the advertising is embarassing. Not international - everything is paris based and paris-minded. It is like exporting Camembert and and pretending it is a kraft cheese slice - it looks frenc, tastes french and smells french - get over it..
