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.

Pros

Unique place -- academic, innovative, smart, nice. San Francisco an amazing place to work and live. Good investment in people, culture. Great products.

Cons

Was just sold, so everything that made BGI unique will inevitably change. Time will tell how much, but new owner is another big success story.
