      great place to work

      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!

      BGI is a great place to work where you will be surrounded by the echelon of intellectual capacity and drive.

      Pros

      In other other company will you find the caliber of performance and intellectual capacity than at BGI. Here you will be surrounded with the most brilliant people in the industry working on pioneering projects. Each person at BGI is valued for their insight and contribution to the specific projects that they are working on. BGI encourages innovation and passion in each endeavor and truly allows their employees full ownership and leeway in how and what they execute. You never get the sense that people at BGI are out for themselves. It is truly a team atmosphere and you will not only gain colleagues that you can learn from, but foster many relationships and friends.

      Cons

      Some of the disadvantages at working at BGI is the level of expectation given team members. People in this company are expected to deliver results and perform well above the average. In many ways this can be arduous as a level of competition can sometimes occur and many people work long hours in order to achieve goals.
