Pros

- Exposure and thought partnership on high-impact global projects for clients that are the leading organisations/firms in their industries - No longer a small company, though doesn't feel like a large company - can expect to experience the best of both - Contributions are always recognized in the Mumbai office and performance is noticed and appreciated by senior management - Industry pioneer and a high-growth organisation (in India and globally) with established growth and learning potential (especially for performers) - Excellent Mumbai office infrastructure, perks and compensation - Ability to build solid relationships with senior clients and Council Members

Cons

- As a highly client-centric organisation, pressures of client timelines can sometimes be felt - Exists in a significantly competitive local marketplace - Not a 9-5 job, one must work hard to succeed with clients and internally

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

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.
