Pros

In other other company will you find the caliber of performance and intellectual capacity than at BGI. Here you will be surrounded with the most brilliant people in the industry working on pioneering projects. Each person at BGI is valued for their insight and contribution to the specific projects that they are working on. BGI encourages innovation and passion in each endeavor and truly allows their employees full ownership and leeway in how and what they execute. You never get the sense that people at BGI are out for themselves. It is truly a team atmosphere and you will not only gain colleagues that you can learn from, but foster many relationships and friends.

Cons

Some of the disadvantages at working at BGI is the level of expectation given team members. People in this company are expected to deliver results and perform well above the average. In many ways this can be arduous as a level of competition can sometimes occur and many people work long hours in order to achieve goals.

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
