Pros

Fix 9 hour job - you rarely stay back although you can barely take breaks besides 1/2 hour of lunch Good culture - people in age group of 24-35 work in Gurgaon India office hence it is very college like culture there.

Cons

Very hard on giving you own earned leaves Your tap in and tap out is monitored along with breaks Admin women would point you on what you are wearing and send emails to manager re your attire Internal politics for promotions and better roles Extremely boring work - either you are recruiting every day or hiring consultants Major drawback - The HR of Gurgaon office had an attitude like of a CEO. I faced problems while leaving the firm and when I was relocating I needed a simple letter for my Visa, I had to email and ring the HR for ages.

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.
