Pros

Diversified financial group with global presence: good for cross-selling and cross-border transactions

Cons

Corporate culture: very France-centric, preference for nationals, not so many foreigners as compared to other investment banks, large staff with limited efficiency (as compared to other investment banks and boutiques)

Pros

The benefits are excellent, especially the 3 weeks vacation to start, plus all the bank holidays. The pay is competitive. International co-workers made it a stimulating place to work.

Cons

Advancement heavily dependent on one's immediate manager. If one's immediate manager was stalled in his career or not highly thought of, it is difficult for those under him to advance. Since it is a French company, assignments in the United States seemed to be a perk for the better French employees, or a sort of dumping ground for the less competent French employees. Understandable, since the United States is not a large market for them.
