Pros

- Great people, worked with smart individuals who are always willing to help - Fun employee events to support diversity (Hispanic Heritage month happy hour, etc)

Cons

- Change of management (changed the entire C-suite within a year) and issuing company changes that do not align with employee feedback - No work life balance (8:30-6), often working well past that without a proper lunch break everyday - No fair compensation nor career growth (changed associate role to 3 year duration, as opposed to prior structure that offered yearly promotions (role change and base salary increase)) - Understaffed and overworked, expecting employees to do the role of 3 teams after laying off and eradicating 2 roles - Culture of micromanaging (weekly 1x1s, regular performance reviews, constant "feedback" on day-to-day performance)

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Great co-workers, solid healthcare plans (with transgender coverage!) and excellent leave policies.

Cons

Five or six years ago GLG was an incredible place to work. It was inclusive and fun. Then Paul Todd left and everything went downhill so fast it gave me whiplash. New CHRO was a buddy of the new CEOs and the nepo hires continued from there. So many RIFs that the teams are all skeletal, and everything that made the amazing culture at GLG disappeared. I may recommend GLG for a new grad desperate for something to put on their resume, it’s probably fine for that. As far as the company I loved and genuinely enjoyed being a part of? Well that’s long dead. Management is catty and they’re all watching their own backs, everyone is working scared and willing to push anyone else under the bus.
