Pros

Some down to earth people and a nice office location pre-Covid 19.

Cons

Toxic work environment and a total lack of transparency from C-levels through to middle management regarding career progression, business plans, restructurings, etc. Client-centricity is prioritised over employee wellbeing, always.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. The health of our colleagues always comes first. As a company, we are committed to employee wellness, especially amid the continued challenges we are all facing. This fall, we launched “Simply Well,” an ongoing series of online classes and workshops taught by leading wellness experts to promote healthier habits and routines while working from home. We also understand there are times it’s helpful to speak with a professional, which is why we have upgraded our health and wellness benefits, including free counseling services available to all employees should they need them and mindfulness tools, such as Calm, to proactively support wellness. We have redoubled our efforts to provide transparency in our new working environment. From global all-hands to regional town halls to weekly notes from our Leadership Team members, we believe frequent and open channels of communication are essential for organizations of our size to operate at their fullest potential. In the past year, we’ve also brought more clarity to the ways we think about career progression across the company, creating more meaningful and consistent opportunities for GLGers around the world, particularly our Client Solutions Associates.

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.
