      Solid company, some downsides - Anonymous employee GLG Employee Review

      Pros

      GLG is a great place to get exposure to various industries. Lots of employees either come from or move on to high-profile financial industry firms. There is also great mobility within the firm; you could feasibly graduate from college and be managing a team in under two years.

      Cons

      Some of the work can get quite repetitive. It's important to remember that your job is to facilitate the research process, not actually provide content. Also, the management openly admits that it doesn't really take outside experience or college accomplishments into account. What's most important at the company is how long you've worked at GLG.

      Pros

      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

      Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

      Cons

      I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
