GLG is a cult, treats employees like cattle, herding us from team to team. In my 1.5 years at GLG I have been on 5 different teams, partly because everyone hates it so much that they leave, and partly because GLG just ushers you around with zero regards for you and your career and what you may want to get out of the experience.
The good thing is, you are considered a veteran if you have been there for more than 1.5 years!! Wow, imagine that. People leave in herds. It is widely known at GLG that everyone is looking for a job. It is shocking to find people who aren't actively searching for other opportunities.
Managers aren't trained, and many are given manager roles, 2 years out of undergrad with zero training. In addition, there is a high level of paranoia. Colleagues are questioned when they go to lunch with teammates, and managers laugh when we suggest we take an hour lunch break, as is written in the employee handbook.
On public holidays, the expectation is that at least one person from the team is working remotely. This means that, for example, on a holiday like 4th July, someone is working, for no additional compensation.
The work is monotonous and dry; my 9th grade classes were honestly more challenging.
Upper management spends more money on producing cultish videos than actually making any change.
I could write a lot more, but quite honestly, GLG is not worth it. All I can say is, unless you are desperate, do yourself a favor and don't work here.
