Barclays Global Investors – “In transition”

Pros

BGI has been a boon to my career, allowing me to advance up the chain steadily through the years. The pay is good, the industry perhaps not so much.

Cons

The personnel hired over the last few years have transformed the company into a shark tank. The competition is fierce and that attitude comes from the top down.

Advice to Senior Management

As the transition to Blackrock matures, don't forget the people that made the institution what it is today. Keep them, retrain them if necessary, and reward them as you have been.
