Pros

GLG has a culture that most companies would envy. This is 100% due to the people that make up this private company. Intelligent, top communicators and hard workers. The business model itself is innovative for a data rich world. World's largest micro-consulting platform that believes people learn best interacting with other people.

Cons

Benefits and compensation are lacking. No 401K match, compensation heavy for management and light for entry level. High turn over with lower level employees, in my opinion due to non-competitive salaries which management seems okay with. compensation seems to hit an inflection point at VP level. Below that, tough to hold on to top performers.

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.
