Pros

Very open culture. People are nice and they care about your growth in the orgnaization.

Cons

Changes happen gradually. APAC needs a different strategy approach but it doesn’t seem to be the priority on senior management team in US.

Pros

-free coffee -nice work space -some interesting projects -wfh/pto (but don’t be fooled into thinking you can actually use either as much as they claim) - get promoted quickly, yep you can be a VP by 27! But you will prob develop the same level of technical skills and business acumen as an analyst at a boutique consulting firm... if that

Cons

The first thing I will note is that unless there has been a MAJOR change in the company in the last month (which is high unlikely) GLGs HR dept is posting fake positive reviews now that they’ve finally realized that people take Glassdoor ratings seriously because there is no way their rating shot up from a 2.7 to a 3.2 in such a short time frame, especially since the last time I spoke to employees who were still there and desperately trying to leave they had noted that things had only gotten worse... so take that into consideration for starters if you are looking to work here -micro management central -tons of useless metrics -they want “yes men” don’t bother sharing ideas that contradict theirs, they won’t care they’ll do what they’re planning on doing anyway -constant re-orgs/ restructuring that make no sense, diminishes any incentive to form meaningful relationships with clients or teammates -HORRIBLE communication from senior leadership... townhalls full of fluff and bs, and then everyone is caught off guard when actual changes are rolled out -unrewarding work, really mindless tasks -no overtime, low salary for amount of work expected, bonuses are a joke -no tangible skill development -HORRIBLE HR department -toxic work culture, no trust, mgmt constantly lying -confuses identity, want to be a leading tech platform but also steal market share from big 4 consulting firms...keep dreaming, realistically GLG isn’t either... it’s a call center no matter how they try to portray themselves -deceiving job descriptions, again no matter what they try to spin this as, you are working at a call center, setting up calls, selling calls, cold calling to recruit experts to do phone consultations -don’t appreciate employees at all, Iv seen a lot of high performers leave in the last 6 months -everyone here is basically looking for a new job, there is no motivation to stay -if they don’t know what to do with you they will stick you into sales -if you want to transfer to any other dept aside from sales they will not let you, they preach about internal mobility but that does not exist here
