      Pros

      The employee experience at GLG is incredibly dependent on the team. Some teams are highly autonomous & unstructured, others have rigid guidelines around responsibilities and expectations. GLG has a lot of really smart people - a key to being happy at the company is finding places where you can work with these people and stretch outside of your daily responsibilities. It's a company that rewards initiative, and promotes fairly quickly if you have earned it. GLG is also flexible - after you've proven yourself, if you say you want to: move to another office, focus on a different task, join a different client segment, etc. - that's all totally possible.

      Cons

      There's a lack of excitement about working at GLG. The office is nice, the people are smart, but I'm not sure anyone is truly passionate about being there.

      Your review’s headline really jumped out at me because I couldn’t agree more. I’ve worked for a number of companies in an array of roles and I know that work is what you make of it. I’m glad you’re having a good experience, and I appreciate your call out of how much opportunity there is at GLG. The senior leadership team is focused on providing good experiences to everyone who works here. Like I’ve said in other responses, the areas you’ve flagged for improvement – like career paths and GLG’s diversity – are top priorities for me and other senior leaders. Thank you.

      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.
