Pros

Senior Leadership recognize the changing global environment and adjust their strategy to reflect that. Great team environment that encourages you to think out of the box.

Cons

Benefits are not in line with other corporations. They need to recognize talent and reward them as necessary. Not enough advancement opportunities

Pros

When it came to developing software, BGI did a better job than some of the software companies I've worked for. BGI was trying to put development processes into place which is certainly better than no process.

Cons

BGI used to be a great place to work until they were bought out by BlackRock. BlackRock dragged BGI 5 years back. Process got dumped out the window.
