Pros

Gen Z energy and friends

Cons

Everything. If i could give 0 starts i would. Massive lack of leadership and poor management - they have no clue what they are even doing and are so inconsistent across the board in terms of teams, communication, hiring and training... this company changes everything so much and so often it actually baffles me how this company is still standing. Firing people left and right, tearing down the entire structure, laying off the best of the best in the company and replacing them with people who suck and then lie about the decisions they've made. They have taken away a lot of our benefits and seeing even higher turnover each and each quarter. They are starting to become mean. They don't care and even fire good performing people who deserve to be here who are genuine good hardworking and performing smart individuals, replacing them with mean and incompetent people. they also don't pay us enough and the bonus model is so bad.

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.
