Pros

- Recruiting team hires very smart people out of college. Easy way to make friends in a new city. - Most people tend to find a better opportunity that they really enjoy within 1-2 years. Many of my colleagues left for great jobs at leading tech companies, finance companies, and grad schools. - There is a clear path for promotion early in your tenure. If you perform reasonably well, it’s not very difficult to advance through the Client Solutions positions to become a Team Lead. - Just about all of my colleagues were genuinely kind.

Cons

- The work itself is monotonous and unenjoyable. There is little to no creativity involved, and the majority of the time I felt like I was bothering people, both on the client and Council Member side. - Clients are typically young-ish professionals from high-profile consulting and financial services firms. This is a double-edged sword. It’s great to put experience working with these firms on your resume, but the people you will work with are generally rude, condescending, and believe the rest of the world exists to serve them. - Cog in the machine feel. - Metrics are generally not reasonable. - Often times there is little correlation between the effort you put in on a project and the actual outcome. - After the first couple of promotions there is very little opportunity to advance. - Expect to be micromanaged.

GLG Response

We appreciate your thoughts. Career progression has been a top focus of ours as GLG leaders, and as we enter the new year, we are making a few changes. First, we are reducing the size of our teams across the organization, while offering more robust manager training for those who lead them. This will help ensure GLGers have the support they need as they grow within the company (without impacting overall headcount). We also understand not everyone wants to lead a team, so we’re creating more opportunities for strong individual contributors to get promoted without taking on leadership responsibilities. Additionally, we’ve redesigned roles overall to offer a deeper sense of account ownership for our colleagues at every level of the organization. As return to office plans begin to materialize, we are committed to providing a flexible workplace environment that meets our colleagues at the moment, mindful of everyone’s individual circumstances. We are sorry to learn about your experience, but wish you all the best in your next role.

Amazing work culture

Pros

With rigorous corporate training, supportive work culture, you will pick up invaluable project management and soft skills on the job. The people are the best thing about this company: peers, management, clients, and the subject matter experts you work with.

Cons

If project management/sales/building client relations is not your passion - despite loving the people and the corporate culture - you might feel a bit restless in terms of planning your career path.
