Pros

Good first job out of college – provides exposure to a professional environment and expectations. Fast-paced corporate experience – you learn how to communicate with clients, manage deadlines, and juggle multiple tasks. Strong training in soft skills – lots of practice in email communication, professionalism, time management, and prioritization. Insight into many industries – you may get surface-level familiarity with how different businesses operate, which can help you figure out future career interest

Cons

Limited long-term growth opportunities – career paths are narrow, and many people hit a ceiling within a year or two. High turnover / low retention incentives – compensation, bonuses, and role structure are not good to stay long-term. Repetitive, process-driven work – once you understand the workflow, the day-to-day can feel routine without chances to build deeper or specialized skills. Poor senior management

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.
