Pros

-Inclusive environment -Great maternity policy -Great PTO policy (unlimited) and you can actually take it -Lots of young people in Austin office so good for fresh out of school -Social work environment if on the CS side in Austin (not as much on AM side)

Cons

-No one tenured to learn from, most tenured employees leave and they are hiring in a manner that will not attract tenured people to join. Also not very career development focused- there isn't a path involving longevity for employees past a year or two if you're on the sales side (or AM) and I received my first training this year in October after asking for it all year -Poor customer experience- they wildly re-organize employees and accounts saying its "best for the customer" at least once a year, when its really about retaining an employee who will ultimately leave in a year because they're already so fed up with how they've been valued -Low valuation of employees: sales pay structure is unclear and unmotivating, and targets are evaluated quarterly but are not communicated until Q2 is already in fully swing. Targets are also based on last year's performance, when the account likely was not managed by you, it could have been managed by someone much more senior. You could be doing the role above the role you're being paid to do for a full year or more, and you will be told to "prove yourself" or "show growth" regardless of your efforts and responsibilities -High turnover of employees as a result of the above, leading to frustrated clients and lack of support on servicing clients -Lack of empathy from managers and no true values around mental health. Sensitivity training desperately needed

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.
