Pros

- The people at GLG are incredibly smart, hardworking, caring, and very fun to work with. Especially now, you can see a lot of heart is put into client work and I feel that it’s getting better. - Decent salary and benefits - Time off policy is invaluable - and (from every leader I have had) managers WANT you to utilize the unlimited PTO - (Pre-covid) times the office is beautiful and there is free coffee - Good work rewards (utilizing recognition programs where you can trade in points for a number of fun items/gift cards) - A lot more flexibility when working from home. The client solutions role can be very up and down in how busy you are, and it’s nice to be at home during slow days so you can do housework, exercise, etc.

Cons

- Long and often unpredictable hours - The learning curve is steep at GLG, but once you know the job it can become a little repetitive - It can be hard to set boundaries for after-work hours - it would be nice to know that before accepting the job

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.
