Pros

They paid you something I guess?

Cons

-the whole CDA CS structure and partnership is a joke. They treat you like second class citizens, and your managers will never have your back -they ask you to work late nights several times during the week while keeping your pay at an hourly rate. I know plenty of consultants who are salaried and expected to work until the task or project is done. But they are paid far greater. -fake care for DEI. They do not care about diversity, equity and inclusion. Only making themselves look like the do. Don’t let the BLM or rainbow logo confuse you. They don’t care

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.
