Pros

Unique place -- academic, innovative, smart, nice. San Francisco an amazing place to work and live. Good investment in people, culture. Great products.

Cons

Was just sold, so everything that made BGI unique will inevitably change. Time will tell how much, but new owner is another big success story.

Pros

Great work environment and friendly culture. Senior management is attentive and responsive to your need. Great benefits and work/life balance.

Cons

Still going through integration process (people and systems). Sometimes things are getting done pretty slow and require lots of approvals.

Pros

intelligent people who want to get on with the job in hand on the whole there is flexibility and understanding about work life balance comp is Ok , but not the best - often its the relationships within the company that keep people

Cons

benefits are not great when compared to some other financial institutions schism between London and and San Fran to the point where you do not have a career unless you are in SF. This leads to a one sided view of the world there is a tendency of some who have been at BGI for a long time to want their way to win out rather than work as part of the team - often very detrimental to the ompany
