Pros
- Direct access to the most interesting & successful investors in the world, which provides a unique opportunity to learn (if you have the drive to unlock it) - An open, engaged workplace that empowers everyone from entry level to global leadership to problem solve together - Global opportunities across a variety of functional and regional segments, opening up a broad set of choices to grow & develop new professional skills - 20+ years on, GLG continues to lead it's industry and grow across multiple dimensions and give it's team the chance to be part of a winning strategy
Cons
- GLG has experienced growing pains; it would be hard for any successful growth company not to. But those challenges are chances for the motivated to jump in, solve problems and grow. - As a global business of a couple thousand people across 20+ offices, there is a large operational challenge of keeping everyone connected across time zones, cultures and languages. The company isn't yet at the scale of the large cap services or technology business that has teams of people managing these issues.
