      Pros

      When it came to developing software, BGI did a better job than some of the software companies I've worked for. BGI was trying to put development processes into place which is certainly better than no process.

      Cons

      BGI used to be a great place to work until they were bought out by BlackRock. BlackRock dragged BGI 5 years back. Process got dumped out the window.

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
