      Pros

      Every 15 days free lunch or breakfast

      Cons

      Managers at this organization do not trust their employees and micromanage them and what is worst is that this issue appears to be across the globe in their different offices which shows the type of culture at GLG. There is no opportunities to grow within the Council Development Team and it is impossible to move to a different business unit. They offer the opportunity to work in a different country which it is nearly impossible for most of the employees at GLG as they can't sponsor you in most of the countries they have operations. In addition to this, Managers can be childish and bullies with their own employees. Managers at GLG also love giving negative feedback and do not praise for the hardwork and good results. The job is super monotonous and boring. Do NOT join this company, this is why everyone that has gotten a chance has left and please read other reviews. Majority will be negative which will show you it is not a good employer.

      We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We hold our managers across the organization to a much higher standard than the one described. After getting feedback from GLGers like you, we set about reducing the size of our teams, while offering more robust manager training. This ensures GLGers have the support they need as they grow within the company, without impacting overall headcount. We understand not everyone wants to lead a team, so we created more opportunities for strong individual contributors to get promoted without taking on leadership responsibilities. We’ve also redesigned client-facing roles to offer a deeper sense of account ownership for our colleagues looking to develop those skills. The role you had is challenging and not a perfect fit for everyone. That’s why we have a dedicated Mobility Team to help GLGers with any cross-departmental moves. We regret we couldn’t address your concerns while you were still with the company but wish you all the best in your new role.

      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.
