      Pros

      My coworkers are lovely and we have a lot of fun together in office, going to happy hours, and work closely together. You can learn a lot about unique industries and that makes it a great first time role for fresh out of college students.

      Cons

      GLG restructures every 6 months and you may be in an "important" job, or you could be let go after 8-20+ years of loyalty to the company. If you want to move up the ladder, don't stay here more than 1-2 years. There's little to no incentive unless you're on a team that gets bonuses, and they work crazy hours. I've been here 3 years and got one mini promotion and had to give up any OT pay for it, so I essentially make less than I did at a lower level.

      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.
