GLG reviews

It's a really strange role where it isn't good for anyone who is interested in finance, consulting, law, strategy, or anything really. You get brief exposure to what's happening in whatever sector you're aligned with, but it's generally so devoid of context that you don't really gain anything from it, nor do you really get time to truly research and understand it. You'd be better off reading the news (they do have Bloomberg news on the TVs in the office, but good luck watching without scrutiny, very strange and performative move by management/leadership). Metrics-driven. If your team is performing well, your metrics will rise (your reward for work is more work). If you inherit an underperforming book, prepare to spend most of your days doing nothing while somehow also grinding for months (every intake is treated as urgent) for no bonus (shareholder value tho!). Painfully repetitive and becoming more and more reliant on an AI workflow (which is good, it DOES make an easy job even easier, but it really does reduce the job to button pushing and phone calls), little if any emphasis on professional development, major divide between junior staff, middle management, and leadership. If you are a new grad looking for a job, unless you have no other options, please do something else. You may see the salary range and think it is worth it (it is definitely above average for new grads/entry level), but I guarantee that you will be happier making less money if you're doing something you are either interested in or has a positive social impact. The company lacks a real identity or culture, and it will wear you down.

Unlimited PTO Company Culture Consistently increasing metrics with no increase in pay... You'll be at your starting salary for three years
