Pros

GLG is by far the best company I've ever had the privilege to work for. Will Ballard, GLG's CTO, has created an environment of learning and sharing which certainly demonstrates the companies core values. In the time I've worked for GLG, I've learned more in my career than I have at an previous job. Personal development is encouraged and you'll get to the opportunity to work with incredibly intelligent colleagues. There isn't enough space provided for me to accurately communicate how great pair programming with the other members of my team is. Everyday I learn something new and have the opportunity to teach others, so each day I am rewarded. Every company needs to take notes on how GLG works, especially in the engineering department.

Cons

Each time I try to find something negative, I'm reminded by all the positives. Maybe 401K matching could be better given how much success the company has had in recent years. Perhaps a clearer pathway to how to achieve promotions would help retain long time employees. Overall pros far outweigh the cons.

Pros

The best reason to work here is that the people are great. I enjoy coming to work everyday. The people within GLG make the product and drive growth by working closely together. Research and Sales colleagues collaborate everyday and I think both parties benefit. Our clients come to us to learn and as we conduct the work, by reaching out to our network, we have the opportunity to learn about some of the most innovative and interesting topics. The leadership is great and has recently put a huge emphasis on connecting with everyone on a deeper level to find concerns and address them directly.

Cons

It is good and bad but the training process is limited depending on your role. You are forced to learn quickly and think on your feet. I personally prefer this method but I know some old coworkers felt the pressure.

Pros

There are numerous advantages to working for Gerson Lehrman Group. This organization is extremely organized and professional with all of their clients on a consistent basis. They are the leading research organization in their field with positive feedback from their clients as well as the consultants. I have been happily employed with them since 2005 and love the atmosphere and positive culture they provide.

Cons

There are really no downsides to working for Gerson Lehrman Group. The only thing I could possibly say is, it would be nice to receive more work projects however, that is not necessarily a con.
