Worked with a lot of intelligent people from all industries but definitely a lack of growth and innovation there. - Research Manager GLG Employee Review

Pros

- you'd work with a lot of young, motivated people from great companies and top schools

Cons

- lack of growth - thinks they're at the top of the financial world when they're not - compensation isn't in line with market value - too corporate to a point where you feel suffocated - power politics > getting the job done

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
