Pros

The best part about GLG is the environment, and the caliber of people you'll work with. I worked primarily for the marketing team, which has grown quickly and has completely re-invigorated the company's digital properties. Lots of great talent and experience on this team. The NY office itself is full of fantastic, interesting characters. Sit at the espresso bar for a bit and you can speak with people from every area of the business, whether it's in regard to GLG or shared outside interests. There are many young, hungry, resourceful people that make day-to-day life quite pleasant. I made plenty of friends in a year and a half at the business.

Cons

Role progression isn't the most clear-cut when you're transitioning from one role to the next. This could be improved upon.

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.
