CEO is taking the company down!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

GLG has a unique product offering...(but see cons) The people are really intelligent

Cons

GLG has a unique product offering that they refuse to innovate or evolve so it's still stuck in the 90s for financial services companies. The competition will figure this out and get ahead of them soon. The CEO has NO CLUE what he's doing and is slowly letting the company crumble Benefits are awful and the management cares very little for their employees Company rewards length of time employed rather than merit. Too many 8-year employees (all now SVPs and above) who are just floating around without any real job or responsibilities
