Minpunten
Working at GLG was a nightmare...seriously! Everyone is stressed and overworked and the type of work related stress is from logistical issues and nothing intellectual at all. You will spend 80% of your time arranging phone calls or events at GLG-NYC site or off-site and trying to find experts who can fulfill the client's research needs at a particular time. The skill sets you develop are not transferable and frankly GLG accepts people from all background only because you do not need a well defined talent to do the type of work you will doing there. So if you are a fresh undergraduate with no other offers take this job because you will develop skills to interact with clients and know how to answer the phone and run after experts when they do not reply to your 5th email on the same request etc. If you have specialized knowledge beyond undergrad don't bother joining GLG. The salary is low and you will be working round the clock on logistical issues. The managers are inexperienced and highly ineffective and do not mentor you. There is not much intellectual growth and most people are looking to leave as soon as possible. Good luck if you decide to join!
