Major diversity and inclusivity problem - Client Solutions Associate GLG Employee Review

Pros

- The company has a unique business model and every project comes with a challenge that can be very fulfilling for people who like engaging work. - The company has decent reputation in the industry which makes it easier to not come off as a scam when contacting targets.

Cons

- Discrimination in the workplace. Managers are inexperienced at managing people and have no idea / ability to manage employees who come from diverse backgrounds. The worst part is that they don't even realize how their actions are discriminatory which makes understanding racist behavior a remote concept for them. Their condescending tone and inability to intrinsically drive people is going to scare away younger talent (of color) when cities like Austin see more opportunities flocking.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re sorry to hear your experiences do not align with our efforts to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. Diversity is a core value at GLG, guiding how we treat each other, our clients, and our experts. We’ve strengthened our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives significantly over the last year and a half, launching seven Diversity Networks, expanding our training and education programming for our front-line managers, redoubling our commitment to sourcing candidates from diverse backgrounds, and raising awareness around our no-tolerance policies for discrimination. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but know this work is never complete. The situation you describe certainly comes as news to us, and it's something we absolutely want to investigate (with your cooperation). Do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our People Team or our Chief Diversity Officer Desireé Dancy directly to share specifics about your experience.

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.
