Hi monkeys,
Would need to decide on where to go. UniCredit in Munich, Germany or BNP Paribas in Paris, France. BNPP would be a sector coverage team, UniCredit would be generalist.
Does anyone have any insights into working culture for both, responsibility/learning curve, future opps working at tier 1 BBs in Cont Europe/London?
Both are long-term internships.

BNP - obviously very heavily geared towards French-people. Don't expect to move up quickly if you aren't French.
Culture is French, laid-back, though obviously unpredictable in banking.
Well as an intern and with a known tendency of not hiring their interns FT, I guess you can leave out career progression as well as personally targeting a more prestigious BB.
Therefore what counts along with culture the most is the learning curve that enables you to have a strong analyst skillset afterwards where you can kill interviews with your gained practical knowledge.
u wot m8?
Assuming you have offers at both (and therefore you have professional proficiency in both French and German): I'd say BNP Paribas. BNP has a stronger market presence in addition to fairly large offices in London and NY should you aim to move later on. If you decide to stay in Germany, I would try to scope out opportunities at BB (in Frankfurt)
But both have reasonable/good exit opps for tier 1 BBs be it in London, Paris or Frankfurt?
not really everything is possible tho.
"tier 1 BBs" /facepalm
anyway, working at UniCredit - I am not sure what you would need to bring to the table in order to move to GS possible but wouldnt count on it, really they have way better candidates to choose from
definitely better chances coming from BNP their groups like LevFin, Structured Fin etc. are very solid... some countries have good corporate finance/Capital Markets deals etc.
Go for BNP Paribas, no doubt.
