Pros

I've been with the company for a long time (compared to most), and I attribute this to great coworkers and great exposure to many different industries. I can safely say that the only reason I've stayed at this company is because of the wonderful and smart people I have (and used to) work with.

Cons

Poor senior leadership - Recent changes in leadership seem to have all been for the worst. It's clear that they are making cuts to please investors and losing a lot of top talent. This isn't the empowering place it used to be and feels more like a call center. They also inflate Client Solutions titles to maintain retention, and promote poor quality managers. More importantly, leadership tends to surround themselves with "yes people" who prioritize leadership politics over company growth.

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.
