Pros

A great company to kick start your career with. Joining them helps you develop a good understanding of how the investment community thinks, works and grows. You speak with leading industry experts and while some look at it as a general conversation, its upon you to take back something from every conversation that you have. Opportunities are plenty and GLG is the place if you have new ideas that you want to share and develop or just develop a business communication skill set. Your encouraged to recruit the best and most widely approached speakers and are graded on top dollar earned by each.

Cons

The firm can do better at making sure employees are engaged in activities other than work only. Sometimes monotony does set in and it would be good to have relaxed days at the workplace once every week to loosen up a bit.

Pros

Good for Sales/Research roles Plenty of growth. Benefits. 401k match. Flex time . Multi national company.

Cons

2 different companies in one. If you're in a Sales/Research Front/Mid office role. GLG can be a great place to grow. Great exposure to multiple industries, new concepts , a good amount of travel etc.. Company really encourages employee development for these type of roles. The opposite can be said for Back office roles ie. Accounting/Finance. Lack of growth, below market compensation. Management does not encourage new ideas/solutions. Controller treats employees at both accounting offices differently. Company overall does invest in employee development for Accounting/Finance roles. Overall just not a great place to work if your in a back office role.
