Pros

Limited organizational benefits beyond an unlimited PTO policy. On in-office days, snacks are provided in the afternoon, and barista service is available during morning hours Monday through Wednesday, with no service on Thursdays.

Cons

Frequent team reorganizations result in uneven workload distribution, impacting the ability for all employees to consistently meet performance targets. Performance targets and KPI thresholds have increased, reducing bonus eligibility and making incentive accelerators difficult to attain. Title progression has been removed, roles have been standardized under a single title and base compensation structure, and salary increases are not offered. Employee turnover is high, including among long-tenured staff. Certain benefits have been reduced. In-office attendance is required four days per week. Workdays are extended, with workload fluctuating between high-volume periods with limited breaks and low-volume periods with minimal work, depending on client demand and account assignment. Work-life balance is limited. Training is inconsistent, with frequent retraining and regular changes to tools and processes. There are also rumors they will not be renewing their downtown lease and moving to a venue by the airport, so our downtown parking benefit would be removed as well.

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.
