      Pros

      They hire new graduates so GLG can be a good first break if you aren't prepared for the working world after graduation. Austin office is in a decent building in a great location. It all did feel a bit prestigious to me as I was so new out of school.

      Cons

      Your co-workers are pretty awful people. The office functioned like a high school socially where people were actively and openly mean to each other for reasons as petty as not liking their clothing style. The work is boring and monotonous. It's more like being an administrative assistant than an actual consultant. The Austin office is a corporate sweatshop where new grads are underpaid and spend their day scheduling phone calls.

      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.
