Pros

Day-to-day is variable, with lots of project types to work on. Smart and hardworking colleagues. Regular (small) promotions if performance is solid.

Cons

Sales-focused organization, with limited room for growth in other specializations. Employee retention is consequently an issue. Upward mobility depends on going into people management, some senior individuals contribute little to ongoing projects. Strategy seems to be to hire large incoming entry level class of recent grads, and then a few are funnelled up each year to manage the new group. Different teams felt siloed.

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.
