Pros

Great people, nice office, good pay especially in Austin. If you are interested in a career in sales, business development or account management, the Associate position can be a decent starting place, otherwise look for something else that might offer more transferable skills when you leave.

Cons

The comments on culture in other reviews are pretty accurate. Intense metric-based micromanagement (how many phone calls did you make, how many emails did you send, etc) makes that even worse. The challenge of this job comes from the stress and pace, not intellectual challenge.

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.
