Pros

Office location is central, decent place to start after university

Cons

- Toxic work culture starting with management. If you don’t appeal to people, you will never progress in the company. - unrealistic made up targets - rigid 3 day a week hybrid structure - no clear direction of career progression and false expectations set to keep the employees going - the entire PSS team was let go, except for 4 people. first 5 people were abruptly fired who were in probation. Then, they fired all the managers without giving them any internal options to stay just severance pay. Finally, the 10 people remaining were called into a meeting 6 being told their jobs were secured whilst 4 were put at risk of redundancy, given the option to take the severance pay, fight for their job or move internally. Has been the worst experience of my life and I worked here just a short time.

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.
