Pros

Good vacation time (if you take advantage) Reasonable Pay, Benefits

Cons

Very stressful, implied expectations to work almost all hours of the day. Praising people publicly and in department-wide chat messages for responding to client emails at midnight on a Friday. Sense of anxiety about not missing anything from clients on weekends and after-hours depending on your team. Your experience definitely depends on who your manager is and team culture. Company culture as a whole is very client first, work life balance second....or third...

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.
