Pros

BGI has been a boon to my career, allowing me to advance up the chain steadily through the years. The pay is good, the industry perhaps not so much.

Cons

The personnel hired over the last few years have transformed the company into a shark tank. The competition is fierce and that attitude comes from the top down.
