GLG Partners

Thoughts on them? Have first round coming up for FT in London, for macro hopefully. Read up a few things on Glassdoor but not much more out there so any help would be great.

Background: Summers in M&A at a BB and a $20bn+ long/short hedge fund.

 

Bump?

GLG is nothing like a IBD or BlackRock.

Your job is to connect investment professionals with industry contacts.

I.E. A hedgefund is looking to get some info regarding cell tower capabilities. Your job is to find a some systems engineer who could give the HF more color in that space. HF pays GLG a finders fee and GLG pays engineer for his time.

Yes, since they stopped serving cofee their results have lagged leading market indexes and top quartile funds by over 50%. Starbucks is pleased to see that its products do in fact correlate to higher returns. I would not go work at GLG unless they got off their asses and bought Starbucks coffee for all employees daily.
