GLG reviews

The first thing I will note is that unless there has been a MAJOR change in the company in the last month (which is high unlikely) GLGs HR dept is posting fake positive reviews now that they’ve finally realized that people take Glassdoor ratings seriously because there is no way their rating shot up from a 2.7 to a 3.2 in such a short time frame, especially since the last time I spoke to employees who were still there and desperately trying to leave they had noted that things had only gotten worse... so take that into consideration for starters if you are looking to work here -micro management central -tons of useless metrics -they want “yes men” don’t bother sharing ideas that contradict theirs, they won’t care they’ll do what they’re planning on doing anyway -constant re-orgs/ restructuring that make no sense, diminishes any incentive to form meaningful relationships with clients or teammates -HORRIBLE communication from senior leadership... townhalls full of fluff and bs, and then everyone is caught off guard when actual changes are rolled out -unrewarding work, really mindless tasks -no overtime, low salary for amount of work expected, bonuses are a joke -no tangible skill development -HORRIBLE HR department -toxic work culture, no trust, mgmt constantly lying -confuses identity, want to be a leading tech platform but also steal market share from big 4 consulting firms...keep dreaming, realistically GLG isn’t either... it’s a call center no matter how they try to portray themselves -deceiving job descriptions, again no matter what they try to spin this as, you are working at a call center, setting up calls, selling calls, cold calling to recruit experts to do phone consultations -don’t appreciate employees at all, Iv seen a lot of high performers leave in the last 6 months -everyone here is basically looking for a new job, there is no motivation to stay -if they don’t know what to do with you they will stick you into sales -if you want to transfer to any other dept aside from sales they will not let you, they preach about internal mobility but that does not exist here

In my opinion, GLG has a really bad culture, and it gets worse with each class of new hires. GLG loves to advertise that they hire "the smartest talent from top tier universities". The problem with that is it completely kills any chance of diversity in every sense of the word. Every year, a new group of 70+ fresh grads start at GLG and most of them come from the same 2 or 3 schools. They all already know each other. With such saturation, there is hardly a chance to experience something/someone new because you already know everyone. Different backgrounds? Maybe in regards to majors, but majors won't apply to anything you do at GLG. The other negative reviews cover every other issue I had while working there, but other things I wish I knew beforehand: - you will be working 10+ hours every day - when you take time off, your coworkers will still want you to be on-call - everyone around you will glorify being busy, boast about how obsessive they are with clients, and force themselves to work from home while they're sick as dogs - no matter what, the clients run the world - whenever you talk to someone face-to-face, they will stop paying attention to you if they get an email or even think they are getting an email People just forgot how to treat others with decency and respect.
