      Pros

      - Vacation: AVPs get 6, VPs get 7-8, Directors get 8+ - Health Benefits (Vision, Dental and Health) - 401K (Matching is fairly standard in the industry) - People are generally nice - Work-life balance is much better than American banks in NYC - In July and August people generally take their vacations so it isn't that hectic

      Cons

      - Way too many layers within the organization.. One person manages another 2 who then manage another 2 people.. makes no sense.. - No management vision is articulated to employees - Too much red-tape / bureaucracy - Nothing happens when it is supposed to .. "this is a french bank, you can't expect fast turn around on anything" is a phrase I always hear. - All key decisions are made in Paris, so you have no visibility - No room to move up, people come here and stay here for years and years - If you are an American you will find it hard to fit in as most management is French - Place is very cliquey - unless you are French, you will be left out - Management doesn't provide direction, no ownership from management to drive the company.. the little guy gets thrown under the bus
