Pros

Great office views overlooking the lake. Nice fitness center and easy access to the lake to go running/walking. Unlimited PTO (well so they claim). Free lunches on Tuesdays. Full time barista.

Cons

Oh where to start. Dysfunction is an understatement, there are WAY too many cooks in this kitchen and everyone has some sort of manager title so they have no real merit. Teams that are supposed to work together struggle to co-exist making the relationship an overall negative one. Opinions that are different are not only not welcome or considered, but you're encouraged to just keep those to yourself. "Open Floor Plan" just means everyday is a free-for-all trying to find a new desk and resetting the computer monitor to your liking. You can't personalize your desk because it likely won't be where you sit tomorrow. For an office that shuts the bathrooms down multiple times a day to clean, they NEVER have toilet paper or paper towels. There is disrespect and disregard towards other employees as well as towards clients. Save yourself the trouble and don't waste your time here. Take your talent somewhere it can be nurtured and actually appreciated.

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.
