Pluspunten

You will have daily contact with some of the world's smartest investors and industry experts. GLG can very much accelerate your career. GLG's senior management is solid and very competent. Many have experience in management / strategy consulting (e.g., at McKinsey, etc.) or in the financial services industry (e.g., at Goldman Sachs, etc.). The company is trying to plot aggressive growth. Managers are given a good deal of responsibility over their designated book of clients. The company is very good at identifying and promoting outstanding individuals. It is a very meritocratic organization.

Minpunten

It is an extremely fast-paced environment. You will constantly be on your Blackberry or on the phone with clients / experts. To succeed, you need to respond to client / expert requests right away - with absolutely no delay. Requests will come in 24/7. Typically, you will not do very in-depth analysis in your daily work.

Pluspunten

Not applicable at all (truly)

Minpunten

Genuinely I don’t know where to start. I’ve submitted and deleted two reviews in the past 3 months alone. On the surface GLG seems like the place to be to learn from members and executives, but just give it a little bit of time and you’ll quickly see how obvious the cracks are. The culture here is so toxic, managers either do not know or don’t want to delegate project work so you’ll find yourself getting whiplash just trying to get information related to your job from your OWN BOSS. At the same time everyone you interact with is the epitome of “that’s not my job”. The executive leadership team is a mean girls club made up entirely of friends of friends who have their direct reports working well into the night to pull things together so that they look good. The “motivators” the executives use is truly bullying (like constantly pulling up your job description to purposefully make you look and feel small) any other organization would identify making your employees purposely feel stupid and shut down as straight bullying. It’s truly no surprise that you will regularly see employees crying in the hallways. I have never seen a leadership team this incompetent.
