Pros

At GLG the people were all very willing to share knowledge and experience. It's the people who made it for me. The work is interesting. It allows you to work on lots of small little projects as a Research Manager. Never spending too long on any one project. The clients are also fantastic.

Cons

At the time when I worked there there was too many projects and not enough people. Everyone worked very hard...almost to the point of burn out. The company were making changes and trying to rectify the situation and remuneration was reflective of efforts.

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

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
