Pros

Smart, hardworking, and genuinely fun colleagues. I made some great friends here.

Cons

Gemma and her besties (aka the C-suite) have truly destroyed the company culture and many of the things that made GLG a great place to work. Everything has gone downhill since the previous CEO was let go—anyone who's been around through the transition can see the difference. They really don't seem to care about employees. They eliminated the live Q&A during all-hands meetings and even stopped sending quarterly employee engagement surveys. I guess our voices just aren't worth hearing anymore. Fun fact: when I joined about three years ago under different leadership, the Glassdoor rating was 3.5. These days it's 2.5 (2.6 on a good day). Quite an achievement, great job Gemma.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Not applicable at all (truly)

Cons

Genuinely I don’t know where to start. I’ve submitted and deleted two reviews in the past 3 months alone. On the surface GLG seems like the place to be to learn from members and executives, but just give it a little bit of time and you’ll quickly see how obvious the cracks are. The culture here is so toxic, managers either do not know or don’t want to delegate project work so you’ll find yourself getting whiplash just trying to get information related to your job from your OWN BOSS. At the same time everyone you interact with is the epitome of “that’s not my job”. The executive leadership team is a mean girls club made up entirely of friends of friends who have their direct reports working well into the night to pull things together so that they look good. The “motivators” the executives use is truly bullying (like constantly pulling up your job description to purposefully make you look and feel small) any other organization would identify making your employees purposely feel stupid and shut down as straight bullying. It’s truly no surprise that you will regularly see employees crying in the hallways. I have never seen a leadership team this incompetent.
