Business Outlook

Pros

- The culture is much more lifestyle-oriented than other banks (e.g. Great vacation allotments, people genuinely want you to take your days off) - Think its a great place to work if you have a family - Some teams are top in their fields

Cons

- Team was a mixed bag, some excellent people, some people who didn't really know what they were doing - Salary is very low compared to competition - Management wasn't great about developing juniors. Structured feedback was once (maybe twice) a year. - Terrible about promotion as well. Doesn't work the same way as other banks, so people tend to leave when they get impatient.

Pros

Only pros that you will get very good chair to sit, coffee vending machine and good ambience.

Cons

You may decide to join BNP if : 1. you do not have any other job offer. 2. you do not have self-respect. You will be treated very badly. 3. you do not have good knowledge. If you know something good, you may be kicked out because you will be considered potential threat for less educated managers. 4. you are well versed in doing politics. BNP is nothing but politics minus work. 5. you know how to steal and survive on other's skill. Here, manager will steal your knowledge and work.
