Pros

BGI is a well known industry name and brings with it a lot of prestige. Its Transition Management group is particulary well regarded. The overall compensation package is good, but by no means industry leading, having said that you are well looked after and when recognition is given the bonus package can be quite substantial.

Cons

The organistion as a whole is a victim of its own success, it that it suffers from unnecessary bureacracy, and more often than not your career within the organisation tends to be based on sideways movement rather than upward progression. There is also little chance to make your ideas and opinions heard and communication regarding the corporate strategic goals, barring 'Lyndsey's Blog', is not often forthcoming.
