BNP Paribas reviews

Are you French, or at least white? No. Sorry, no career progression then Weak pay and benefits. Haughty attitude of senior management Bureaucratic

- Compensation and salary increments are well below market. Had to beg for a pay increase and promotion, which was a very negative experience and a top reason I left. - Poor HR management and it was almost non-existent. Internal transfer requests were managed very poorly and provides very limited support for the employee. - No transparency on corporate ranks and pay-scale. It makes career progression very unclear and blurred. It means that teams appear very flat but someone doing the same thing as you could be compensated twice as much as you. - Work processes and escalation go throughs too many people within middle management which has little effect on the outcome of the decision (too many layers). It wastes a lot of unnecessary time and resources from the initial stakeholder. - Internal Stake-holders do not communicate well with each other and are often not very collaborative. Work can be pushed around and be left for ages without proper ownership. - Slow on systems development which are very outdated. The systems are not very user friendly and demands a lot of manual work around. - Culture is very reserved. The relationship between different functions can be very bureaucratic - Lack of Diversity in Management. If you are non-French speaking, you can feel excluded and distant.
