Business Outlook

Pros

GLG has a culture that most companies would envy. This is 100% due to the people that make up this private company. Intelligent, top communicators and hard workers. The business model itself is innovative for a data rich world. World's largest micro-consulting platform that believes people learn best interacting with other people.

Cons

Benefits and compensation are lacking. No 401K match, compensation heavy for management and light for entry level. High turn over with lower level employees, in my opinion due to non-competitive salaries which management seems okay with. compensation seems to hit an inflection point at VP level. Below that, tough to hold on to top performers.

Pros

Good salaries, generally nice people, good work/life balance

Cons

Senior Management has no vision or strategy and the company just floats along is a rudderless way, resulting in stagnant revenue. The benefits are very poor, no 401k matching and 2nd rate health insurance.
