Vantaggi
Still has a core group of good people at the heart of it's technology support teams (I am probably biased, but this is predominantly due to some of the legacy BGI folks still being here) There's not really anything else I can think of... there's free milk in the kitchenette areas?
Svantaggi
Wants to be a world-class investment manager but refuses to invest in anything to get there (outside of it's Aladdin product), landing it all squarely on the shoulders of any employees unlucky enough not to have been made redundant. Doesn't seem to think anything of the breadth of talent that props up it's technology sector. Extreme lack of communication whilst management dilly-dally with major strategic decisions, leaving staff to feel exposed and dejected.
