Pros

-most people are very friendly, funny, & real if you get an opportunity to know them a little bit -learn a good amount of basic skills & practice multi-tasking/prioritizing

Cons

-10 or more hours a day usually (8:30 - 6:30 on a good day) -taking lunch is all but discouraged. They obviously can’t not let you take lunch, but most people work through their lunch because walking away for 30min-1hr is basically not an option sometimes, given the amount of work that is expected we complete -making clients happy comes before employee wellness and before network member satisfaction

GLG Response
4y
We’re glad you’ve made such strong connections since joining the company. It’s encouraging to know strong friendships develop between GLG teammates, even in a remote work environment. While we expect a certain level of responsiveness from our client-facing teams, the health and wellbeing of our employees always come first. This is why we’ve taken steps to become a more flexible organization, with the option to continue working from home, in addition to no preset limit on PTO. We recognize that free time is important, which is why we continue to increase our headcount to support our global teams and meet the demands of our growing business. This also means investing in new tools to streamline workflows, giving Associates more time to focus on building deeper relationships with clients. As the leader in a tightly competitive industry, we do hold ourselves to high standards. Ultimately, the role you're in may not be a perfect fit for everybody. That’s why we offer a wide range of internal mobility opportunities to better fit everyone’s long term professional goals. Your HR business partner can help you understand your options. We appreciate your feedback.

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.
