Great Place to Start Your Career

Senior business development manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Really great at giving opportunity to those who work hard - Development pathways to leadership or sales from project management within the Corporate division - Sales was quite autonomous and very young given the lack of marketing support when I was there. Therefore there was a ton of green space, making it easy to crush targets

Cons

-Salary isn't the best in comparison to working in tech but if you do well, you can get great bonuses - Leadership was always in flux and definitely made it difficult to manage in that world

Good place to start your career

Business development manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

will give you a lot of responsibility will give you a lot of exposure and interaction with high level executives-- both from the client and expert side will challenge you, allows for some creativity in the role their management team has turned over in the past 2 years, very much seems to have a good group at the helm now. They try really hard to keep their employees informed, listen to them and making meaningful change. Their handling of COVID-19 was professional and very well done. Made sure their employees were comfortable working from home and had the equipment they needed. Great people work here, you will make a lot of friends Allows for internal mobility to find a role that you think would be better. requires you to over perform in your current role and the ability to make an convincing argument on why you will serve GLG better in the preferred role Allows for management opportunity it a young age

Cons

will over work you, ask a lot of you sometimes feels like they don't compensate you enough for the work pay structure isn't always clear, bonus incentive isn't very motivating can be repetitive-- gotta stay creative and proactive to make sure it doesn't can feel like high school given the average age of the ATX office a lot of change, sometimes feels like change just for the sake of change. I think they are getting better at this, but very much a 'flavor of the week' company when it comes to initiatives still trying to keep moral and satisfaction up, I believe there has been fairly high turnover in the past. It is getting better will give young people management opportunities, this can be very good or very bad-- depends on who your manager ends up being. who your manager is makes a huge impact on your experience. Like the saying goes, "people don't leave companies, they leave managers"-- can be said for GLG

Pros

Good pay, Good atmosphere and great leadership

Cons

Very dependent on the section you get assigned to. Some will make the job significantly harder for various reasons. Downtown location is nice but parking/traffic is still a pain.
