Pros
The salary, bonuses, and benefits are competitive in comparison to similar positions in the area. Exchange Traded Funds are growing at a rapid pace and BGI is the leader as far as AUM and the number of products offered to investors. This puts BGI at the top spot as far as ETF providers go and is likely to retain the top spot. So working here is like working for the behemoth of ETF providers, so it does provide a level of satisfaction knowing you are working for an organization who is leading the ETF race. It's also a great place if you'd like to learn in depth about ETF's.
Cons
Employee morale is very low due to poor judgment on managements part. Although the salary and benefits are competitive, it just doesn't outweigh the con's that exist. One slogan heard throughout the organization is "we don't hire assholes" and "speak the truth". Neither of these slogans are practiced throughout the organization from what I have seen. It's tough to figure out what is expected of you, good, hard workers are not rewarded here. And yes, they do hire assholes. So be prepared to be wined and dined in the beginning to sell you on the job, then the reality kicks in and you just stick with it for just a paycheck until you've had enough. It's a job, not a career.
