Pros

opportunities to talk to sophisticated professionals opportunity to grow within the company can learn a host of soft skills in addition to time management & project execution great co-workers aesthetically nice work environment

Cons

a pretty numbing and mindless job leadership is phony and bent on branding GLG with no employee buy in once you learn the skills needed, you'll plateau and senior tenured employees basically do the same work as junior associates high attrition bad work life balance, expect to set up projects at night and on weekends

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.
