      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!

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
