Pros

Bright people who respect each other. Overall compansation and benefit plans have been good. People work hard but the company attempts to create work-life balance.

Cons

BGI are always constantly reorganizing which can create confusion and many tactical decisions. While people are very courteous it can sometimes result in passive/aggressive behaviour. Overall, not enough emphasis of career development planning, although there are attempts to change that.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
