Pros

During a time of so much uncertainty, I really feel like the company is going above and beyond to share information in a timely, relevant, and helpful manner. There's really no playbook for what's going on in the world, and how a 21st century business should survive a pandemic, but GLG has become a company that is adaptable and informed. I'm really appreciative for that. I've also been incredibly impressed with the commitment to Social Impact. The company is standing by their commitment to Fellows, expanding our Partners Program, and opening our network to so many relief organizations who are on the front lines of COVID-19 and could use expert insight. Having the opportunity to make a difference at a time when it feels so hard to is unique, important, and rewarding.

Cons

Between working from home and having a cell phone that receives emails at all hours, it can be hard to find that ability to "turn off." But I think the company is doing a good job at trying to message to not only employees but their managers as well that it's important to be mindful of requests, projects, etc. coming in too late or early, especially during a time when people are already struggling with the blurred lines between work and home.

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.
