Pros

Overall - it was fun and exciting in the beginning then became exhausting and mundane. GLG hosts great happy hours where you will meet a lot of great people who will eventually turn into great friendships. Good job for post grads to get their feet wet.

Cons

I can agree with just about all the cons I read from the other reviews. I will add a few of my own 1. The recruiters do a horrible job at explaining this job/ tasks/ pay. During the interview process no one can give a clear answer about the pay and the commission structure. This can be a very high paying job but expect to work after and doing a lot of lead generation when you get home from work. 2. Managers will push and push for you to stay late yet they are always the first ones to leave. Managers will bribe treats and breakfast on some days in the AM for those who come early. 3. Managers are only worried about themselves and the numbers they have to turn into their direct managers and these numbers are the numbers the recruiters are bringing in. *the stress of this role is not worth it.

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.
