Pros

The lack of hierarchy at GLG is refreshing. It's easy to walk around and have no clue who is more senior and who is more junior. Everyone has the same "roll up your sleeves mentality". In New York, everyone sits together (literally) and there are no offices, so it's easy to feel like we're all on the same level playing field.

Cons

I realize this may be more New York specific.

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.
