Further development opportunities are provided throughout the Associate program both through close coaching and mentoring as well as through more formal programs.

GLG’s ongoing professional development workshops allow employees to explore a wide range of topics, teach valuable skills, and nurture intellectual curiosity. Some past topics include industry deep-dives, executive presence, PowerPoint and Excel, and meditation and self-care.
We believe in learning; it’s at the core of what we do.
GLG research professionals become learning partners for our clients. They get to know clients and their particular needs, and they marshal GLG’s unique resources to deliver meaningful learning experiences, uncover crucial insights, and drive better decisions.
GLG professionals help shape our clients’ learning experiences. By doing so, they develop strong business acumen as well as communication, project management, and client service skills.

I have been working at GLG full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
I've been with GLG for more than five years and a few things have stood out to me during that time:
- It's a meritocracy. If you demonstrate you're capable, committed, and willing to work hard you're going to get more responsibility.
- The level of transparency is incredible. Management's commitment to communicate company performance, projections, and strategic plan is pretty incredible. Not something you see in companies of this size.
- GLG has committed itself to taking care of its people during these uncertain times. The company transitioned to WFH pretty seamlessly and, rather than just let everyone grind away, took a lot of steps to ensure employees were managing okay.
Cons
Currently you can't take advantage of one of the biggest perks: the offices.
There's been a lot of change. And while that can be stressful, the changes all seem to be for the better.
Application
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GLG (Boston, MA) in June 2015.
Interview
2 part; phone and email - had to fill out forms online and background checks; you can call them to verify information or questions.; once approved you are on their list to call.
