Pros

Really smart, nice people working in the more junior and research roles, you learn a lot, you meet a lot of people.

Cons

Management does not create growth opportunities, you likely will not feel deeply fulfilled in your work, not a great environment for female employees.

Pros

This company is full of 23-27 year olds, who are, for the most part, intelligent, driven folks. The company does its best to foster a supporting environment, but anyone who tells you they don't feel a fair amount of pressure is lying. Some people are cynical about it, others are really bought in--but it seems like everyone has agreed to show each other a (relatively) high amount of respect and understanding. GLG created this business model and is 100% still trying to figure this whole thing out, so it's unique in it's culture as a large company with a startup's focus on innovation.

Cons

Can be an emotional rollercoaster. Also, when you put 400+ young people in an office, it kinda feels like high school, rumor mill/drama included. You can engage with that if you want, depends on what you're looking for. The culture is pretty up or out (not consultant levels, but in the ballpark), and there are people that don't do well in the environment. GLG created this business model and is 100% still trying to figure this whole thing out, so it's unique in it's culture as a large company with startup growing pains.

Pros

- One could have a broad knowledge of global industry across various geography and sector. - One could develop a very broad network of senior people and experts which one could bank upon for future career development.

Cons

- Highly repetitive tasks. You will be doing the same thing after four years which you did when you freshly joined. - Strictly speaking, it's a call center. However, you are not selling credit cards or insurance plans but reaching out to who's who of each industry. - Pressure from competitors is wreaking havoc to this otherwise 'go easy' company creating huge lay offs and drastic cost cutting measures. Workforce at its Gurgaon location has been reduced by half.
