Pros

N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

Cons

Misplaced Priorities and Lack of Training: Team leaders at GLG in Dublin seem more focused on organizing social events, such as the 12 Pubs, rather than addressing critical business issues like the recent layoffs. This misplaced focus on non-essential activities highlights their inability to prioritize the needs of the business and its employees. The root cause of this is the lack of proper management training or certifications for these leaders. Senior leadership has failed to recognize this gap, resulting in an environment where poor management practices are prevalent.

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.
