Pros
International work environment with matrix structure Exposure to the big picture very early on Chance to work with the biggest who is who of the industry Chance to work and network with the largest Investment banks, hedge funds and PE firms. A leader in its line of business. All competitors are pretty far behind! Very good salary and bonuses. good work is always rewarded
Cons
Profile is restricted. you move up the hierarchy; however might just be stuck doing the same thing for higher pay and designation! if you are the kind of person who likes to be comfortable in life...it is ideal for you. If you are looking for new challenges, maybe you will want to skip this Since GLG is the leader and the others far behind does not make sense to move to any of them from GLG. The business however is very niche so it is difficult to transition to a different industry
