Pros

The application process and various stages of interviews took about an entire month. While every stage was interesting and the interviewers were very respectful. The HR and people management team needs a strong overhaul.

Cons

There’s no clarity on the requirements of the role. You could have done the entire process and be rejected in the end because you didn’t meet a language criteria which was NEVER mentioned throughout the process. It’s a waste of everyone’s time. To top it all off they don’t bother to let you know formally either that they’ve rejected you. You get a phone call. And this has happened to multiple people. The company is losing out on people who are much more qualified than the recruitment personnel just because of this opaque process. A candidates time is just as important as that of the company so pls be respectful before entering into a process such as this one.

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.
