Pros

Lot's of work coming to edinburgh office, moving to a new larger building. The company is working hard to buy back it's own stock. You can learn a lot while here. They support a lot of charity work

Cons

Being part of a successful team just gets more work dumped on you with little notice. Senior managers and managers want to look good to their superiours by taking on parts of the business from other offices without actually speaking to you. Blankrock have taken over BGI and lost oa large portion of the BGI knowledge. Systems are lacking

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
