      Pros

      Great office space Weekly free meals Interesting and intelligent co-workers

      Cons

      I had a member of senior leadership more or less tell me that my mental health and experiences outside of work were of no concern to them. Company leadership has created a toxic culture and nearly all employees are miserable. Best advice: DO NOT APPLY TO WORK HERE! A few additional thoughts: -TERRIBLE middle managers who are pressured by senior leadership to micro-manage their employees -Misleading job descriptions and recruiting tactics -Utterly disconnected, clueless, and unresponsive senior leadership -Absolutely no work life balance. You are expected to be on call when ill and taking a lunch away from your desk is frowned upon -Day-today work is repetitive, boring, and unnecessarily metric-driven -Broad consensus of unhappiness amongst employees.

      While I’ve addressed some of your criticisms like job descriptions and culture in my other responses, I’m very concerned about your mental health comment. We care about the well-being of our people and we offer a range of benefits (Employee Assistance Programs, Talkspace, and others) to help those employees in distress. If you ever feel that a senior leader (or your direct manager) does not care about your mental well-being, I encourage you to speak to a member of the Human Resources team or to me directly.

      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.
