Pros

- young and energetic workforce. Unfortunately not valued

Cons

- Generally, what made my life miserable was management. Micromanaging and getting involved in your personal life. - You get severely underpaid - You won’t learn any meaningful and transferable skills, all you are is a glorified copy/Paster - Don’t ruin your career, stay away

Pros

The people you will work with are very educated and motivated. There is a sense of community especially on the PSS team. It is a great stepping stone in your career and will lead you to better future opportunities. The benefits will keep you around and are very hard to beat.

Cons

The work is extremely mundane and you will use no brain power. You will be *strongly encouraged* to never take a lunch and work without breaks. Colleagues in different areas of the company will make you feel less than at times. You will have little to no voice for any issues you want to change. They hire most managers from outside the company. You will love your direct managers but upper management is awful and so far removed from you that they do not care what you have to say. If you make any mistake, you are immediately called out as you are extremely micro managed on everything you do. Upper management has their "favorites" who will get promoted.

GLG Response

We’re sorry to learn about your experience. As the industry leader, GLG holds our people to the highest standards so that we can deliver the best experience possible for our clients. Project Support is not a perfect fit for everyone. The work is no doubt challenging, albeit rewarding. We’re glad you made such strong connections while you were with the company, and that it has opened so many doors for you. We hear this a lot. We are constantly working to develop our managers (most of whom are promoted internally) to become better leaders, and we listen carefully to feedback from GLGers like yourself to keep both sides accountable. Burnout and work life balance in a remote work environment are at the forefront of our thinking right now, including making sure we’re supporting our teams when work volume spikes. Thank you for your feedback. We wish you all the best in your new role.

Mediocre company and poor leadership

Pros

The office location and the coffee machine

Cons

Poor management and leaders . Once the market leader, GLG repeatedly fails at innovating and hiring inspiring managers. A textbook case of how to destroy a brand and a great business .
