Pros

the pay is decent enough you work on interesting projects that you will later hear about in the news

Cons

if you have previously worked anywhere else, don't bother trying to bring any new ideas or advice. your colleagues will be fresh out of college, and your boss will be your age or younger. The average tenure of a new hire is roughly 1.5-2 years. don't expect to make a career out of this the hours are long, as you are expected to respond to clients until 9pm and on the weekends. they will tell you work hours end at 5:30pm, but you are reprimanded for leaving "on-time". there is no traditional lunch break. if you or your team are busy, you don't get to leave.

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

Great co-workers, solid healthcare plans (with transgender coverage!) and excellent leave policies.

Cons

Five or six years ago GLG was an incredible place to work. It was inclusive and fun. Then Paul Todd left and everything went downhill so fast it gave me whiplash. New CHRO was a buddy of the new CEOs and the nepo hires continued from there. So many RIFs that the teams are all skeletal, and everything that made the amazing culture at GLG disappeared. I may recommend GLG for a new grad desperate for something to put on their resume, it’s probably fine for that. As far as the company I loved and genuinely enjoyed being a part of? Well that’s long dead. Management is catty and they’re all watching their own backs, everyone is working scared and willing to push anyone else under the bus.
