Pros

A great company to kick start your career with. Joining them helps you develop a good understanding of how the investment community thinks, works and grows. You speak with leading industry experts and while some look at it as a general conversation, its upon you to take back something from every conversation that you have. Opportunities are plenty and GLG is the place if you have new ideas that you want to share and develop or just develop a business communication skill set. Your encouraged to recruit the best and most widely approached speakers and are graded on top dollar earned by each.

Cons

The firm can do better at making sure employees are engaged in activities other than work only. Sometimes monotony does set in and it would be good to have relaxed days at the workplace once every week to loosen up a bit.

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
