Abstract: A recent result of Holt, Leedham-Green and O'Brien shows that we are finally in a position where, subject to certain assumptions, we can construct in polynomial time the composition factors of a subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(d, q)$. The principal components are "constructive recognition" and presentations on "standard generators" for the finite simple groups. We survey this work.
