Interview
Horrible. Got a call from the recruiting team at the Gurgaon office. Initially, things seemed to be moving fairly quickly. They interviewed me twice and made me complete an absolutely mind-numbingly boring assignment where I basically was asked to collect information on people they could potentially add to their network. After all this effort, they completely disappeared. Despite numerous follow-ups, they didn't bother to respond and eventually, after a month, sent me an automated rejection response with no feedback. Highly unprofessional and unempathetic. I truly consider myself lucky to have dodged this bullet and not thrown myself into such an evidently poor culture. I've seen many negative reviews of the Gurgaon office culture on this platform and have reasons to believe they are likely true.

Interview
Although all of the interviewers were pleasant, I found it frustrating that I had to go through five+ rounds of interviews, particularly given the junior nature of the role. Also, the questions asked by each interviewer were quite similar, which made the process feel repetitive and unproductive. GLG needs to consider streamlining the process to make it more efficient and less intimidating for candidates. Otherwise, the candidate is approved for a few interviews right away, spends a lot of time on preparation and gets feedback only at the end of the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1 stage with recruiter - what do you know about GLG? Your background, some competency-based questions using STAR (difficult situation, multiple objectives)
4 stages of interviews. Phone interview, case study on your own, behavioral assessment and a final interview with a senior associate that involves a live case study. overall fairly simple interview process.
