Pros

This is a big firm, so expect a reasonable magnetic effect. Probably looks good on a CV, but that's it.

Cons

East coast NY centric. Failure of management to empower smart people, unbelievable destruction of trust and and value. NO attempt to engage previous BGIers who were some of the smartest people in the industry. Lied about remuneration process and bonus payments

Pros

Big firm, very impressive on your CV. But that's it!oh and great location..

Cons

After merger of BLK, you work long amount of hours and no appreciation of your hard work. Bonuses and pay were below average and the culture died. Management focused more on reeling in New business as opposed to keeping great talent that walked out along with the best all time CEO'S in BGI history, Justin Wood & Morry Waked!
