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.
