Pros

Nice people, good starting spot - job market is tough right now so a job is a job. If you want a more account management/customer success role and you're just out of uni. then maybe use this as a stepping stone.

Cons

Poor upper management Low morale, Frequent restructuring, Multiple team changes, Mid quarter KPI changes without notice Poorly attainable KPIs Micromanaging, Internal politics (senior leaders magically choosing to leave with some only being in job for less than a year), Poor AI implementation to the point it just seems like token maxing with score boarding of how many people are using it - this also led to a website with poorly generated AI videos, A lot of outsourcing to India - when it comes to internal processes and support or even HR you will be waiting and communicating for days just to solve one problem Constant cost cutting Office attendance tracking Terrible career prospects and mobility Role responsibilities slowing changing towards more of a recruiter/call centre role High churn - when joining it's not great to see multiple leaving drinks over and over within your first month Very poor communication from management, town halls seem to be PR for new AI applications rather than speaking elephants in the room. Some teams are becoming really big on being available to clients 1 hr before working hours and 3 hours after working hours. Job is very repetitive and monotonous, some will like this others won't.

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.
