Pros

DEI, Benefits package, PLENTY of overtime

Cons

Overworked, micromanaged, ever increasing metrics designed to work you to the bone, toxic management, unrealistic clients, being forced to lie to the people you recruit, sometimes unethical business. This company hires recent grads for a reason, they will use you up to the point of burnout. They will excite you with the unlimited PTO, benefits, growth opportunities, and fancy office, beware. You can't use the PTO because then you will fall behind on your metrics and lose your job. The skills you learn here are rarely if ever transferrable to other positions, if you stay you'll have to deal with stressed toxic management. During the tail-end of my career here I asked our highest performing team member how she was able to do so well. She told me she worked weekends unpaid, every weekend.

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.
