Vantaggi
The best thing about GLG continues to be the people--GLG is excellent at hiring interesting and curious people that are generally a joy to work with. The offices are nice, particularly Austin's new office.
Svantaggi
GLG trying very hard to find ways to create more role differentiation and professional development, but to be honest, the job just gets really old after a while. It's very hard to stay motivated. The have also way over-invested in metrics in a short period of time, with some teams being at a severe disadvantage on certain metrics over others. This has very real implications for workers when it comes to work-life balance, promotion, salary, and bonus, and it is very de-motivating to some excellent talent that frankly just gets screwed.
