      Pros

      BGI was a nice place to work (it has now been taken over by BlackRock). There was a good work/life balance culture and decent compensation and benefits package.

      Cons

      There were people there who didn't do very much but still got paid well. Basically they rewarded tenure as much as they rewarded performance. Also lots of politics need to be played to advance your career.

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
