      Salary was competitive, but it was about a year of "meh".

      Pros

      Money. At times I was empowered to produce good deliverables and the product team felt as if we were moving towards doing something significant.

      Cons

      At heart, this company is run by a banking culture, which is of course all about the bottom line. Creativity and innovation did not live comfortably here. The wrong people were in charge of UX.

      Scattered company direction and unrealistic expectations

      Research manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Some really great people to work with, made great friendships and long-term professional contacts - Some colleagues were very encouraging and went out of their way to highlight your abilities to internal management and clients - Interesting work some of the time that kept you learning more about various fields - Some really nice and interesting clients that were a pleasure to work with - Good drink selection

      Cons

      - Unrealistic expectations of employees including being "on call" 24/7/365 - Numerous "initiatives" that swing attention in one direction for a week or so and then a new one shortly thereafter that takes attention in a completely different direction - Management turns a blind eye to those who do not pull their weight; doesn't acknowledge that workload distribution is imbalanced - Company politics like I've never seen in an organization; if you do good work that may not be enough if you're not properly aligned - GLG is an expert network that isn't proud of it's position relative to the competition and is constantly trying to be something its not.

      A very demanding sweatshop

      Software tester
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The compensation salary and bonus is Great. They use good technology for application development. Its very hands on

      Cons

      This is your typical fast paced financial environment nightmare. Everything has to be done in a rush. Problems outside your control that delays a project becomes your responsibility if you missed a deadline. An entire elite group of hard and diligent workers left the company because they either got fired or quited. The company has hi turn overs.
