      Fantastic business model, underwhelming executive leadership - Senior Manager GLG Employee Review

      Pros

      Global reach, interesting and smart client base, fast-paced environment that (usually) values brains and achievement. Great existing and alumni network. Hours are moderate for NYC.

      Cons

      Lots of wannabe investment bankers trying to make up for not being on Wall St. Complete lack of organizational infrastructure around training, HR, and development. Execs regularly disrespected employees in public settings.

      I’m glad you valued the work experience you gained at GLG. It’s disappointing to hear you had issues with infrastructure and culture. We recognize we have some catching up to do around training and development, and we’ve made important steps towards getting better, including formalizing our onboarding process this earlier this year and focusing heavily on managerial development. This continues to be a top priority for us. Regarding any disrespectful behavior you may have witnessed: integrity is an important value for us and we require all employees to treat others with dignity and respect. I hope that any staff member who feels that he or she wasn’t treated with respect takes advantage of our open door policy to ensure that any such behavior can be rapidly addressed.

      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.
