Pros

Spent two years at GLG. Access to exciting projects and great opportunity to learn about a wide variety of topics and industries. Great place for self-starters and to learn discipline of how a workplace functions. Benefits, work/life balance are good.

Cons

Projects / progress can often move slowly due to heavy focus on compliance, and multiple departments being involved. Certain departments can be rigid as well
