Pros

- Direct access to the most interesting & successful investors in the world, which provides a unique opportunity to learn (if you have the drive to unlock it) - An open, engaged workplace that empowers everyone from entry level to global leadership to problem solve together - Global opportunities across a variety of functional and regional segments, opening up a broad set of choices to grow & develop new professional skills - 20+ years on, GLG continues to lead it's industry and grow across multiple dimensions and give it's team the chance to be part of a winning strategy

Cons

- GLG has experienced growing pains; it would be hard for any successful growth company not to. But those challenges are chances for the motivated to jump in, solve problems and grow. - As a global business of a couple thousand people across 20+ offices, there is a large operational challenge of keeping everyone connected across time zones, cultures and languages. The company isn't yet at the scale of the large cap services or technology business that has teams of people managing these issues.

Pros

At this company, you get to work with some truly smart and ambitious people. To be interested in the product and the company, you have to have an interest in "Learning" in general. The company leans on this interest and invests heavily in L&D for their people. The product is one of the more interesting products I've had the pleasure of selling. The flexibility of what you can do with a network of 700K experts allows you to really get creative with clients in both how you structure out relationships and how you price them out. There is a high "give a sh*t" factor here which is good for morale. Yes, there have been a lot of changes over the years but the recent changes have been for the better. They are confronting the issues of years past head on.

Cons

There have been many changes over the past couple years. Just when you start getting comfortable, things changes dramatically. There is a political element in that you need to make sure your name is known and you are connected to the right people. Hard work goes far here but hard work under the right manager who is respected at the company makes a massive difference.
