High growth company with high potential but whose leadership needs work

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coffe bar, very young company (median age 25-ish); high growth company whose hiring a lot and people can grow very fast in the company if you stick around

Cons

High growth brings constant change which can be exhausting to many people, nature of the work (for individual contributor roles) starts feeling repetitive very, very soon; skills learned are mostly soft ones and may or may not be super transportable to roles other than HR and account management; senior leadership's style is quite top down with scarce input from the bottom (but this is getting better)

GLG Response

Thanks for your review. I know what you mean about constant change being exhausting, but as someone who has worked at many growing companies – I know change is not unique to GLG. While I haven’t been here a full year yet, I also agree that the feedback loop is getting better. That said, your top advice is key: listen to people more. There’s an appetite for feedback from every senior leader, including me. So, if you have feedback to share – whether it’s regarding attrition or transferable skills – I want to remind you (and anyone reading this) that my door is always open.

Pros

Work with intelligent, decent young professionals

Cons

Work life balance is nonexistent, you are expected to work late nights and weekends, you are replaceable, not many skills learned on the job, getting to be a "micromanaging" company culture every day

Pros

GLG offers the best of both worlds -- small company entrepreneurial spirit, internal mobility, opportunity AND big company brand, resources, footprint. Not to mention the fantastic people that make going to work much more than a job.

Cons

Confusion over Gerson Lehrman Group vs. GLG.
