Pros

- I thoroughly enjoyed the junior people at GLG - Young, motivated, eager to learn, thirst for leadership and development - NYC office is very nice

Cons

- No direction - Management is delusional - CEO is a politician - Work is VERY repetitive, GLG is a giant phone-based match making service for clients and so-called experts - One’s ability to truly interact and advise clients is ZERO, yet the company pitches that big time in recruiting. Disingenuous at best, out right lie worse case

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.
