Pros

- Honestly, really not much. You get to speak with very intelligent people on a daily basis, however it’s just surface level communication. You are essentially a glorified facilitator.

Cons

Oh boy… I can talk for hours here. Horrendous management, they don’t listen to a word their employees say and consistently do what’s best for them. Work life balance is terrible especially with the low pay. The longer you stay, the further you pigeon hole yourself professionally. Professional growth is probably the biggest con I can think of. Extremely minimal pay increases, zero opportunity to actually grow your professional brand and professional knowledge.

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.
