Pros
- GLG is in fact a great place to start your career, you'll be hard pressed to find a place where you have the chance to learn as much or do as more so early in your career. - Historically, hiring has been curious, smart, and impressive recent grads. You may work with great people if you're able to find them. - There are great early career mentors and managers spread throughout the organization. - Some of the benefits you'd expect from a self-proclaimed tech company: unlimited PTO*, coffee bar, modern office spaces, etc. - Great organization for learning efficiency and operations. Genuinely that and the panel that they've built are the most valuable part of the organization.
Cons
- They are PE funded and have a pattern of being a revolving door of both incremental improvement and regular instability. 3 company wide layoffs in 2023, unclear vision from current management, and waning leadership in the category. - Front line leaders have huge responsibility for training, managing, and improving performance for their people. Feels like the best leave for a new role and those that remain couldn't find another place to go. - Massive variation in day-to-day, performance measures, and value proposition depending on your end client alignment. - For a company that's been around since 1998, you would expect a better understanding of their market. - A culture steeped in drama amongst co-workers, in-group and out-group dynamics, politicking at absurdly junior levels, and increasingly transactional / limited approach to the work that is done
