Pros
Great project and a great volume of AUM, potential second asset manager in Europe after the merge with BNPP. Great work life Balance.
Cons
On the other hand, that is the greatest tragedy: do the greatest job with the greatest boring people. For those graduates who did a top Business school, I strongly suggest you think carefully and get in touch with people before accepting the job offer. Cons 1. FAT middle management: 3x nb of managers compared to nb of analysts; sometimes working with incompetent but who know how to work politically. (Lots of Reviews Said about that.) 2. The seniority is more valued than your competences, and logically great French work culture, 3. Great Chinese Great Wall btw the Manager and Analyst. The underdesk rule: managers donot eats with junors and you will not get the opportunity to sit near the manger For Interns: 1. 0 formation but they will teach you the political lesson (hierarchies, seniority, etc). 2. Some managers are here do 0 management work, always seniority first. So you get 0 career advice and you are here to do the dirty work because everyone has passed by this. 3. The managers and analysts do not have the time to teach you,
