GLG reviews

- hierarchy -- they claim it's a flat structure, but it's far from that. Leaders expect you to know your place and are rarely receptive to feedback or anything that's not an idea of theirs - anything related to culture and/or diversity & inclusion is lip service - US offices severely lack diversity -- sure, some 40ish percent of the company are women, but a) you'll find few of them in leadership and b) there's more to D&I than gender. The real focus, especially in the US, needs to be on race/ethnicity. Offices demographics are a far cry from reflecting those of the cities they're in. - benefits could be MUCH better - flexible work isn't really a thing, especially with client solutions - you'll need therapy. No, really. There are so many unwritten rules at this place and stressors. You'll go nuts without. - they ask employees to submit positive reviews on Glassdoor - professional development is virtually non-existent -- if you a) have a vision for how you'd like to grow your career or b) need help articulating that, good luck doing it here. Again, lip service. - lots of people doing what they're told in HR, even when they know it's not the right thing -- fear = driving force of the culture

GLG has an incredible gift of making you feel like you are worth nothing. They are great at promising great things for your future, but at the end they are only saying what you want to hear to make sure you stay. If you ever question anything the London management team is doing or if you ever raise concerns regarding your job, you will be put aside and considered a "trouble maker", which means that there is zero room for employees to speak up about issues they face and even less room for them to speak openly to the senior team leaders. For those who have the courage to leave (and it does take courage because GLG will completely break your spirit and destroy your self confidence), they realize at the next company what they are really worth, which is a lot more than what GLG has you believe. That is in terms of salary and job responsibilities. Be prepared to become a robot if you decide to leave GLG - to not be able to speak up, share your opinion or make suggestions. Or you will be punished.
