Great Internship Program

Intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Given lots of responsibility, priority for full-time hire. My team treated me like an equal rather than an intern, and I was completely involved in every aspect of the team. This included daily phone calls with our national team where my input was valued. You are never bored, unlike other internships I have had.

Cons

It is not a career. Not much room for vertical movement after the first couple pay raises. It's also very administrative, "busy work", so if that isn't for you then I would not recommend a job with the firm.

Front office vs Back office. Great company for Sales/Research roles. Not for Accounting/Finance back office.

Accounting/finance

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good for Sales/Research roles Plenty of growth. Benefits. 401k match. Flex time . Multi national company.

Cons

2 different companies in one. If you're in a Sales/Research Front/Mid office role. GLG can be a great place to grow. Great exposure to multiple industries, new concepts , a good amount of travel etc.. Company really encourages employee development for these type of roles. The opposite can be said for Back office roles ie. Accounting/Finance. Lack of growth, below market compensation. Management does not encourage new ideas/solutions. Controller treats employees at both accounting offices differently. Company overall does invest in employee development for Accounting/Finance roles. Overall just not a great place to work if your in a back office role.
