Pros

Competitive benefits package including health, dental, and vision coverage

Cons

My experience as a Client Solutions Associate at GLG was ultimately disappointing due to the company’s lack of genuine investment in employee well-being. The role is highly transactional and volume-driven, with constant pressure to meet aggressive metrics that often feel disconnected from meaningful outcomes. Despite the demanding workload and long hours, there is little recognition for the effort required to keep up with expectations. The environment can quickly become exhausting, with burnout feeling more like the norm than the exception. One of the most frustrating aspects is the perception that employees are treated as interchangeable rather than valued contributors. Leadership frequently emphasizes performance metrics, but there is limited focus on employee support, development, or sustainability. While feedback is given, it can feel inconsistent or purely performance-driven rather than focused on growth. Additionally, work-life balance is difficult to maintain. Urgency is constant, priorities shift frequently, and the expectation to be always responsive makes it hard to disconnect. This contributes to a culture where employees may feel overextended without sufficient support. While the role does provide exposure to different industries and can help build foundational professional skills, it comes at the cost of a high-pressure environment that may not prioritize employee experience. Overall, GLG may be a fit for those looking to quickly build resilience and operate in a fast-paced setting, but those seeking a more supportive, people-focused culture may find it lacking.

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.
