      Pros

      - senior leaders are focused on changing the organisation to meet the needs of the future - the pace is fast and there are opportunities to make a difference - communication is getting stronger - strong market position

      Cons

      - inevitable politics amongst leaders and their senior teams - all trying to find space in a new larger organisation - the pace can become too much very quickly - weak management skills after years of underinvestment in hiring and development

      Pros

      can be interesting work but too manic and not planned

      Cons

      Tech group is run by the abrasive BlackRock 'New York clique' - if youre not in that group then forget it. Good BGI people leaving frequently since the integration. BlackRock (as usual) focused too much on the technology and not the people, its a bit late now to make token gestures. The performance management process this year is a shambles (again not focusing on the people) - very little guidance and no cascading objectives. All in all a complete disaster for the San Francisco BGI people. Trading teams need a PMO to organize the many development teams
