Pros

BGI is a well known industry name and brings with it a lot of prestige. Its Transition Management group is particulary well regarded. The overall compensation package is good, but by no means industry leading, having said that you are well looked after and when recognition is given the bonus package can be quite substantial.

Cons

The organistion as a whole is a victim of its own success, it that it suffers from unnecessary bureacracy, and more often than not your career within the organisation tends to be based on sideways movement rather than upward progression. There is also little chance to make your ideas and opinions heard and communication regarding the corporate strategic goals, barring 'Lyndsey's Blog', is not often forthcoming.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
