Pros

They hire new graduates so GLG can be a good first break if you aren't prepared for the working world after graduation. Austin office is in a decent building in a great location. It all did feel a bit prestigious to me as I was so new out of school.

Cons

Your co-workers are pretty awful people. The office functioned like a high school socially where people were actively and openly mean to each other for reasons as petty as not liking their clothing style. The work is boring and monotonous. It's more like being an administrative assistant than an actual consultant. The Austin office is a corporate sweatshop where new grads are underpaid and spend their day scheduling phone calls.

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!

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

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
