Pros

The best thing about working at GLG is the people. I worked on a small team and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed working with every person on my team and I learned a lot from each of them. The company is full of young people who are interested in many different topics. I really appreciated that not everyone has a super clear plan of what they're trying to do next in their career, they're more interested in learning along the way and are open to having different positions in the future. I also found that people had really good attitudes and that it's a collaborative working environment. My writing and editing skills improved a lot and I learned how to balance different team and company priorities.

Cons

Sometimes working with other teams slowed down the pace of projects. I think that sometimes teams spent too long getting buy-in from others. It can be easier to work with fewer people when you have to agree on each item in a project.

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

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
