Pros

The best thing about working at GLG is the people. I worked on a small team and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed working with every person on my team and I learned a lot from each of them. The company is full of young people who are interested in many different topics. I really appreciated that not everyone has a super clear plan of what they're trying to do next in their career, they're more interested in learning along the way and are open to having different positions in the future. I also found that people had really good attitudes and that it's a collaborative working environment. My writing and editing skills improved a lot and I learned how to balance different team and company priorities.

Cons

Sometimes working with other teams slowed down the pace of projects. I think that sometimes teams spent too long getting buy-in from others. It can be easier to work with fewer people when you have to agree on each item in a project.

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.
