Pros

- The company has a unique business model and every project comes with a challenge that can be very fulfilling for people who like engaging work. - The company has decent reputation in the industry which makes it easier to not come off as a scam when contacting targets.

Cons

- Discrimination in the workplace. Managers are inexperienced at managing people and have no idea / ability to manage employees who come from diverse backgrounds. The worst part is that they don't even realize how their actions are discriminatory which makes understanding racist behavior a remote concept for them. Their condescending tone and inability to intrinsically drive people is going to scare away younger talent (of color) when cities like Austin see more opportunities flocking.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re sorry to hear your experiences do not align with our efforts to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. Diversity is a core value at GLG, guiding how we treat each other, our clients, and our experts. We’ve strengthened our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives significantly over the last year and a half, launching seven Diversity Networks, expanding our training and education programming for our front-line managers, redoubling our commitment to sourcing candidates from diverse backgrounds, and raising awareness around our no-tolerance policies for discrimination. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but know this work is never complete. The situation you describe certainly comes as news to us, and it's something we absolutely want to investigate (with your cooperation). Do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our People Team or our Chief Diversity Officer Desireé Dancy directly to share specifics about your experience.

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.
