Pros

It is a true meritocracy, where people's success isn't driven by the school they attended or who their daddy is/was, but by their talent and drive.

Cons

It is beginning to feel like a big company with the attendant big company challenges--the need to evolve to a big-company managment structure, disparate locations and different legacy cultures mixing together. It's not a start-up any more. But it's still a great company with a great business model.

Pros

San Francisco office is congenial atmosphere, left over from the good old days when we were Barclays Global Investors

Cons

New atmosphere is much more competitive. Employees have less latitude to be creative than when we were BGI
