I worked here for a few months in early-to-late 2021. I lived with fear, micromanaging, and anxiety, which was given at the very start.
After training (a 2-week cramming w/ very little hands-on experience), they make you create "help chats" with your coaches, managers, and ambassadors. This is where you are supposed to ask questions and rely on them for help. NO. Instead, this is a public humiliation forum for them to call you out on everything you do wrong, even though you are still vulnerable and just learning. You aren't really taught things at GLG, you are whipped and conditioned like a dog to be fearful of doing something wrong.
Also, project partners were abusive. They hound on you to get 75 experts within one hour of receiving the project...sometimes with little-to-no information. You do everything you can (emails, LinkedIn messages, cold calls, connects) to get those experts, then your partner rejects your experts with no warning and no feedback. They just ghost you and expect you to take it.
There were times my partners asked me to keep bugging the experts for extra information, so I did my best to reach the experts w/ call, email, text, etc.. Then my partner STILL rejected the expert, with no feedback. Also, if your partner doesn't reject your expert, your client sure will. Treated like a punching bag.
Other cons:
1) They hold back on encouraging breaks. They said to stay away from it to service the client. I always just heard them say "you're allowed to take a break" (as if by law). They never really encouraged me to take one, even if they overloaded me with work.
2) You're expected to answer calls on weekends, midnight, and 5 AM in the morning... all to get your expert rejected in the end.
3) Even if a new project was given to you at 5:59 PM (hours are 8:30 AM - 6 PM), you are expected to work into the night.
4) They encouraged stress and even gave a lecture on it. Seriously.
Even on the slowest days, I was afraid of leaving my desk for the slightest break due to fear and micromanagement that was hazed into me at the beginning. So glad I left. I work for a Fortune 500 company now with better pastures.
