      Pros

      High caliber employees only - no dimwits! Collegiate atmosphere, consensus approach to all planning and problem solving. Highly creative and progressive management structure, allows room for personalities while maximizing effectiveness of good ideas and creative energy. Highly educated, cosmopolitan and energetic workforce adds to BGI's unique vibe.

      Cons

      Collegiate atmosphere prone to clique-buildup.

      Commercial bank style, more concerned about cutting cost, less concerned about technology innovation.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable company, large organization, plenty of learning resources, internal mobility. Top executives seem to know what they are doing. The company has been doing good through the financial crisis compared to other investment banks.

      Cons

      Internal IT support is very inefficient, everything take a long time and nobody seem to care. A lot of beauracracy, have to open a HPSC ticket to get anything done across teams. Management is not doing a good job interms of vertical communication. A lot of integration pain is still going on even more than one year after the merge with Lehman Brothers. A lot of politics and cultural clash between the two sides, and they have lost quite some talents.
