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 compared to BB (Originally Posted: 08/01/2015)
I've got an interview with GLG and I was wondering how it compares to working at BlackRock or IBD at a BB (where I already have an offer) in terms of training and future opportunities.
Does anyone know how GLG is performing as a whole?
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.
He could be referring to GLG/Man...
if its the Hedge Fund GLG then its also nothing like BlackRock or IBD and you should take the offer...

What is the perception of GLG in the marketplace right now? Has the departure of Coffee had any lasting impact? Are they still the best multi-strat fund? If so, which other firms are in their league? If not, who's their better?
What about culture? Anyone know what it's like on the inside?
Any insights appreciated.
You can gauge a lot just by looking at AUM and AUM/# front office employees
I would think GLG is still one of the best (particularly if you are in the London office).
Well if Coffee was their one of their biggest assets and is now at Moore with Louis Bacon, why not invest in Moore and get two amazing PMs?
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.
