Pros

DEI, Benefits package, PLENTY of overtime

Cons

Overworked, micromanaged, ever increasing metrics designed to work you to the bone, toxic management, unrealistic clients, being forced to lie to the people you recruit, sometimes unethical business. This company hires recent grads for a reason, they will use you up to the point of burnout. They will excite you with the unlimited PTO, benefits, growth opportunities, and fancy office, beware. You can't use the PTO because then you will fall behind on your metrics and lose your job. The skills you learn here are rarely if ever transferrable to other positions, if you stay you'll have to deal with stressed toxic management. During the tail-end of my career here I asked our highest performing team member how she was able to do so well. She told me she worked weekends unpaid, every weekend.

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.
