Pros

Leadership is communicative and transparent, and demonstrates an eagerness to create a more inclusive environment at the company. Encouraging culture in which employees feel comfortable taking time off and otherwise balancing their professional and personal lives. Strong sense of teamwork and collaboration that extends across functions and offices. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, GLG has transitioned to remote work very effectively, with plenty of support resources, open communication flowing both top-down and bottom-up, and an overriding sense that we're in this together.

Cons

Lack of diversity, both in leadership and throughout the company. The leadership team has outlined its commitment to improving this, as well as some next steps it will take to do so, but concrete change has yet to materialize.

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.
