Thanks for your review. We’re glad you’ve had a good experience at GLG! We’re always working to evolve our benefits, opportunities, offices, and culture so that everyone is excited about coming to work every day. To that point, we’re deeply focused on enabling GLGers to grow their careers here, and we’re strengthening our L&D programs and helping people understand and develop their career paths in pursuit of that goal. That said, our core values – especially curiosity and learning – mean that some employees will take what they have learned and go elsewhere to pursue particular career objectives. We’re very supportive of these efforts, and proud that our alumni have gone on to exciting roles at top startups, financial services firms, and tech companies, among others. Again, thanks for your review.

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.
