Pros

I worked with some of the kindest and easy going people I've ever met. Everyone had goals and were incredibly smart.

Cons

Management only cultivated talent that they hired after college. GLG does not do a good job of hiring from outside and they also have enormous challenges in retaining top talent.

Pros

I joined the firm in its exciting, yet rigorous, growth phase. I loved my boss, Aaron Liberman, as well as my other sales colleagues. The CRM was awesome and easy to navigate. Mark was amazing and so were our hard working analysts and team leaders. Look, it's New York. If you want to make money, you put in the hours. Take big bites of that sandwich while you're young because you eat a lot less later. From a sales perspective, we all were very competitive for new client acquisitions. If we didn't work as hard as we did, nobody would make any money. Yes, it is demanding but if you're smart, a GREAT team player and can navigate the politics, you'll do just fine. It was the best job I had in New York. Remember to enlist upper management in all your endeavors, including your peaks and pits. They will listen. Obviously, they have if you look at where the firm has come since 1993 when we were on 41st Street! Dedicate your mind to making it fun - it can be heaps of fun. Your whine will quickly be noticed and you will have your necessary resources dedicate their time to someone else excited about their role and moving forward. Lucky you to work for GLG!

Cons

If you want to get ahead in sales, doing your homework to get ahead will keep you at the office until 11 or 12pm. There is only one senior executive that I did not care for, so I avoided him until I had another big win. True, it may feel like a sweatshop if you're just out of college but this is now WORK! Mark, Aaron and Marla were great mentors as well as Sam, Legg and Dmitri. Developing LERA was so much fun and a great learning experience which I still leverage today. Work hard. Play hard. Have fun together because you create your own workplace environment. Teaming is the key to success at this firm.
