      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My team has a great culture, people all generally pull in the same direction and are keen to help.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy can sometimes be stifling. As with any large organisation experiences can really vary depending on what division and team you work in.

      Sink or Swim

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are generally nice, smart, and have fire in the belly. Egos are checked at the door (and if not, are shown the door). Employees are given opportunities to grow their careers (caveat: it's pretty much sink or swim).

      Cons

      There is a leadership vacuum at BGI that has been sucking the life out of the firm (and its people) for years. This is not a female-friendly firm (check the public superior court records for San Francisco County to see how many lawsuits have been filed against BGI by women for unlawful termination). These are just the stories on record. Highly political business environment, driven by Barclays. Looking for a fire drill? You found it!
