      Pros

      The pay is highly competitive. They have lots of interesting employees and you can meet people of all backgounds. Committed to diversity. Nice office space. Good benefits in terms of employee mental wellness, phone reimbursal, parking, etc.

      Cons

      Very repetitive and monotonous, painful and manual process. Too much change in terms of everything else. From my second week to the day i left after 2 years and a week, I did the exact same calls and lead generation - but the tools, the people I worked with, where I sat, the names of business units, my pay, my vacation time, and everything else changed. Most often it would change with little to no notice - you would walk in and the systems would be different. They oversold the job on all the problem solving and collaboration we would be doing - almost none. If you want to learn you can, but also if you don’t want to learn anything you can just do the process and get by and not build any skills at all. The management is aware the learning and development is a huge gap and at the time I left they were working to address that but it seemed like a lot of talk and presentations without much real career development occurring.

      Thanks for the feedback. As mentioned, we are investing in our learning and development efforts both in terms of role-based capability building and more robust manager training programs. We also recognize that during your time with us, we grew significantly – introducing new opportunities as well as a few changes. We are working hard to improve our lines of communication so everyone from new hire to veteran GLGer stays better informed on what’s coming and why – from new tools to internal people processes.

      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.
