Pros

Right in the center of Seoul, with excellent transport access and a spotless office setting. The canteen provides an unparalleled selection unlike anywhere else

Cons

Aside from a few pros, everything else is negative. There is no capable local management to provide leadership, establish clear strategies, or set a good example. Issues with management have been raised for years, leading to many resignations, yet nothing has improved. Management often shows a lack of motivation and professionalism, which has seriously damaged commercial performance. Overall, there is no will to grow, and the office environment is miserable. Clients have already turned to competitors, and the company is being thoroughly outperformed. Turnover is extremely high, and the culture shows no interest in individual career growth or development. Employees are becoming increasingly unmotivated and careless, and the overall atmosphere is a disaster. There is no sign of business improvement, and it seems certain this office will remain in decline for at least the next few years. In the worst case, this office may even be shut down.

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.
