      Pros

      intelligent people who want to get on with the job in hand on the whole there is flexibility and understanding about work life balance comp is Ok , but not the best - often its the relationships within the company that keep people

      Cons

      benefits are not great when compared to some other financial institutions schism between London and and San Fran to the point where you do not have a career unless you are in SF. This leads to a one sided view of the world there is a tendency of some who have been at BGI for a long time to want their way to win out rather than work as part of the team - often very detrimental to the ompany
