Pros

Good base salary and benefits, effective senior leadership, commitment to diversity and social impact. There is opportunity to re-skill and change divisions / business units using internal mobility. Great PTO policy.

Cons

Churn and burn roles at lower levels, limited career growth opportunities. Intense competition from other providers plus "always on" expectation for email especially during business hours. Repetitive work, limited skill development in lower level roles.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. As you pointed out, we strongly believe in the importance of social impact and diversity. It’s encouraging to know you feel the same way. Many GLGers find social impact projects among the most rewarding parts of their experience. It’s true, we are in a competitive industry. We don’t see this as a bad thing, however. It drives us to push each other to grow as individuals, teammates, and leaders in a category we created, and to hire the most passionate, talented people we can find. The work is fast-paced, and ultimately not for everybody. In those instances, we offer pathways for employees interested in different opportunities across the organization. We are committed to helping all GLGers find balance in their work and in their lives, including by offering unlimited PTO. With rapid growth comes a need to hire more to support our global teams, and we are projected to do just that. Increasing our headcount will give individual contributors more flexibility and consistency in client facing roles.

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.
