      Pros

      BGI was a nice place to work (it has now been taken over by BlackRock). There was a good work/life balance culture and decent compensation and benefits package.

      Cons

      There were people there who didn't do very much but still got paid well. Basically they rewarded tenure as much as they rewarded performance. Also lots of politics need to be played to advance your career.
