Pros

I've been with the company for a while primarily because of the bonus pay. Since the good days are behind us there are few reasons to stay with poor senior managers.

Cons

BGI does not do a good job of mentoring or succession planning. This really limits opportunities for employees.

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.
