As a firm, we value constructive feedback and seek it often – from our current employees, during exit interviews, and from our clients – and we appreciate you taking time to share your experience. We strive to be a place where every employee/firm relationship is mutually beneficial but realize that is not always possible. We are committed to our four core values, and sometimes there is just not a fit.
We recognize Glassdoor allows reviews of past employers, but our firm has not had a Consultant-level employee leave in nearly two years, so the feedback seems a little stale. However, to ensure transparency and accuracy, we would like to respond to the writer’s comments. KCG’s Managing Director is a driven, direct, and passionate senior executive who expects strong performance and invests time coaching and mentoring colleagues who demonstrate promise and are committed to delivering value to those we serve. Most consultants thrive in a results-oriented environment, which is why the consulting industry supports the “up or out” approach to professional growth. We support employees in their professional development and provide regular feedback to ensure employees continue to advance in their careers at KCG. With respect to being a “turnover factory” for new grads, KCG primarily recruits experienced hires, as demonstrated by our team’s backgrounds. That said, we do have one employee who started after completing her MBA and will celebrate her 6th anniversary this year and two employees who both started as undergraduate interns and are now celebrating their 5th and 3rd year anniversaries.
Again, thank you for the feedback and opportunity to respond to share more insight on our firm. We wish the reviewer well in their future endeavors and would hope anyone interested in joining KCG would evaluate the opportunity and the team for themselves.
