Pros

During a time of so much uncertainty, I really feel like the company is going above and beyond to share information in a timely, relevant, and helpful manner. There's really no playbook for what's going on in the world, and how a 21st century business should survive a pandemic, but GLG has become a company that is adaptable and informed. I'm really appreciative for that. I've also been incredibly impressed with the commitment to Social Impact. The company is standing by their commitment to Fellows, expanding our Partners Program, and opening our network to so many relief organizations who are on the front lines of COVID-19 and could use expert insight. Having the opportunity to make a difference at a time when it feels so hard to is unique, important, and rewarding.

Cons

Between working from home and having a cell phone that receives emails at all hours, it can be hard to find that ability to "turn off." But I think the company is doing a good job at trying to message to not only employees but their managers as well that it's important to be mindful of requests, projects, etc. coming in too late or early, especially during a time when people are already struggling with the blurred lines between work and home.

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.
