Pros

GLG is for people who: a. have no other job offers b. fresh out of college For the former, it provides you with a decent pay (if you're desperate), exposure to different businesses, and a chance to develop soft skills. I strongly recommend you find another job within 18 months MAX.

Cons

- Pay is below average (unless your senior mgmt) but you have free coffee and redesigned offices! - High turnover means you have the most incompetent managers as talented ppl leave quickly - Misleading Job titles (This one is laughable, none of the title mean what you think!) - Very little room for advancement/opportunities for professional development - Research is glorified receptionist - Business Development is essentially telemarketing/cold calling/direct sales

Pros

company is innovative with a good mission behind it. Overall there is a good work/life balance and people don't sleep at the office.

Cons

The company is very top-heavy and it takes an excptionally long time to be considered for promotion, this often kills motivaiton. There is no clear career path
