GLG reviews

*Management doesn’t care about the employees * Hard working and productive individuals are given pathetic manual work which can easily be automated * All the important work is given to the favorites of the ggn management even when they lack qualification and experience to be in that team * Managers pinpoint every small mistake but don’t appreciate good work * Don’t allow leave even the ones which you have earned * Nepotism at every point * Awful cafeteria. No food. * Lazy management. They don’t do anything to put the ggn office on map. Dependant in every way. Bpo work environment.

-The nature of the work at GLG is simply mindless. As a Research Associate you'll sit at your desk for 9+ hours per day sifting through endless pages of LinkedIn searches, looking for experts and duping them into thinking that you are offering them an interesting consulting opportunity. I felt like I was getting dumber and dumber, the more time I spent at GLG. -No chances to grow A fictitious 'Senior Research Associate' position is continuously waived in your face like some sort of reward, which can only be achieved if some ridiculous and counterproductive metric is reached. The metrics are dependent on the amount of recruits you add to the network... effectively making this a recruiting job. Also, trainings are a lie, they are specific to GLG and cannot be applied in any other context (maybe at Alphasights if that's your thing). -Unhealthy levels of micromanagement EVERY SINGLE MINUTE is accounted for. You are sitting next to your manager who basically watches over you for the entirety of the working day. No ownership in your work, no responsibilities. Key words to watch out for which are simply lies: "Thought-partner with the client" - False, client is convinced GLG is a call centre that charges a lot. "Research" - False, the research is a recruiting search. Not research. "Networking with industry leaders and key thinkers" - False. The experts are convinced Associates and GLG staff are dumb, and the majority are so frustrated with the GLG process that they are not interested in an actual conversation about the 'projects' "Project management' - False. This involves a 10-15 minute search on the topic, followed by a project write up which usually takes 10 minutes, followed by the pressing of a button which send a mass invite to the experts. This is not project management.
