Pros

At this company, you get to work with some truly smart and ambitious people. To be interested in the product and the company, you have to have an interest in "Learning" in general. The company leans on this interest and invests heavily in L&D for their people. The product is one of the more interesting products I've had the pleasure of selling. The flexibility of what you can do with a network of 700K experts allows you to really get creative with clients in both how you structure out relationships and how you price them out. There is a high "give a sh*t" factor here which is good for morale. Yes, there have been a lot of changes over the years but the recent changes have been for the better. They are confronting the issues of years past head on.

Cons

There have been many changes over the past couple years. Just when you start getting comfortable, things changes dramatically. There is a political element in that you need to make sure your name is known and you are connected to the right people. Hard work goes far here but hard work under the right manager who is respected at the company makes a massive difference.

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.
