      Great if you enjoy learning. Not great pay for sales.

      Pros

      Constantly learning, opportunities to work in various offices around the world, you are surrounded by very intelligent colleagues.

      Cons

      It takes way too long to get promoted across the board regardless of how well you do.

      Great foundation - desperately needs new CEO

      Above vice president

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I'm a senior manager (above VP level) and a core team member. - Generally great core group of people in key positions. Colleagues are bright and ambitious. - Allows for interaction with the best and the brightest, particularly externally with both clients and 'Council Members'. You really get a chance to interact with captains of industry and finance. - Firm is fairly flexible with employees, allows opportunities for those who excel including international experience. - Good overall compensation structure. Not competitive with top levels of finance but otherwise the firm pays a good wage. -

      Cons

      - Great foundation and seemingly market leader in a great business however this firm has only a few more legs unless something significant happens. CEO has led business for about a decade and has done a good job growing the firm to this size but it is clearly time for a change. - CEO doesn't understand strategy, has no idea how to fully capitalise on the great platform that has been built in today's modern age. Firm itself has no clear strategic vision, just getting by on the wins of yesteryear. - CEO has spent oodles of hard-earned cash on hair-brained schemes that don't make sense and are unconnected to core business. - CEO unable to retain top talent - significant turnover at the senior level.

      Pros

      GLG has a culture that most companies would envy. This is 100% due to the people that make up this private company. Intelligent, top communicators and hard workers. The business model itself is innovative for a data rich world. World's largest micro-consulting platform that believes people learn best interacting with other people.

      Cons

      Benefits and compensation are lacking. No 401K match, compensation heavy for management and light for entry level. High turn over with lower level employees, in my opinion due to non-competitive salaries which management seems okay with. compensation seems to hit an inflection point at VP level. Below that, tough to hold on to top performers.
