Pros

I am very happy to come to work everyday. I was concerned with some of the reviews during the interview process. I have had several interactions with the CEO and completely disagree with the reviews. During my first month I attended a GLG History Onboarding session with Alexander and I thought he was dynamic and interesting. I feel that I am surrounded by intelligent, collaborative people. I couldn't be happier with my decision to join GLG.

Cons

It is a relatively flat organization which I could see people being frustrated if they can't move fast enough. When a company grows quickly sometimes the infrastructure can suffer and it seems that has clearly been the case. The company seems to realize this and seems to be making efforts to improve this.

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.
