Pros

- GLG is in fact a great place to start your career, you'll be hard pressed to find a place where you have the chance to learn as much or do as more so early in your career. - Historically, hiring has been curious, smart, and impressive recent grads. You may work with great people if you're able to find them. - There are great early career mentors and managers spread throughout the organization. - Some of the benefits you'd expect from a self-proclaimed tech company: unlimited PTO*, coffee bar, modern office spaces, etc. - Great organization for learning efficiency and operations. Genuinely that and the panel that they've built are the most valuable part of the organization.

Cons

- They are PE funded and have a pattern of being a revolving door of both incremental improvement and regular instability. 3 company wide layoffs in 2023, unclear vision from current management, and waning leadership in the category. - Front line leaders have huge responsibility for training, managing, and improving performance for their people. Feels like the best leave for a new role and those that remain couldn't find another place to go. - Massive variation in day-to-day, performance measures, and value proposition depending on your end client alignment. - For a company that's been around since 1998, you would expect a better understanding of their market. - A culture steeped in drama amongst co-workers, in-group and out-group dynamics, politicking at absurdly junior levels, and increasingly transactional / limited approach to the work that is done

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.
