Pros

You will make friends, because everyone will be equally miserable...a recipe for bonding.

Cons

The job is boring and unchallenging. I don't know anyone that legitimately enjoys the work, which is why 40% of the company leaves immediately after bonuses are given each year. The org. culture is haemorrhaging and there is nothing that the company can do about it because the job is mindless. It's not HR, management or anyone's fault, as its simply impossible to make the day-to-day work interesting. The only bearable part of the week is Friday at 17:00...free drinks. Having said that I think most of the managers have good intentions and are genuinely ok people. Career Opportunities = good if you don't want to be challenged and like spending all day doing admin-tasks termed "research" (now client solutions, which is more accurate) Compensation & Benefits = pay is fine Work/life balance = once you stop caring you can leave at 6pm everyday which will happen in a few months, although this may not be the case if you have a certain type of manager.

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.
