      Pros

      Looks good on resume (no idea why)

      Cons

      - Horribly behind on IT - Very little innovation - Everything politically challenged/ego driven - Assembly line org charts (internally called laughing squid model where one person who manages one person who manages one person who manages one person who manages one person) - No transparency on compensation, promotions, ratings, business model, nothing. - Killed all the reasons why people joined BGI.

      Pros

      Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

      Cons

      Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
