Pros

Smart folks, market leading position, willing to experiment, global reach

Cons

A bit too Wall Street-ey, especially in the egos of some folks, also...just cause you went to a good school that doesn't mean you are smart.

Pros

GLG is the biggest company in the "expert" space by far and dominates the industry. They have an incredible client list and great relationships with clients across a variety of different industries. Lots of talented and hard-working people work at the company.

Cons

GLG has traditionally been complacent about competition and is dealing with increasingly sophisticated competitors in the space. Relatively poor employee developments efforts in the past (although they are trying harder from what I understand). Very political work environment.
