      Pros

      The pay for Council members is fair

      Cons

      I have had consulting meetings scheduled which I carved out of my day. I'm on the phone for 15 minutes and then they call to cancel and don't pay for my time. As a result, I stopped serving as a council member

      A decent entry-level position

      Pros

      The company makes a focus to hire young, bright minds, so the day to day interactions with peers are great. The office also is trendy, with an in-house barristas and open seating. The compensation for people right out of college is competitive, and there are opportunities to progress fairly quickly. The job does look great on a resume, as people who leave often go on to some really interesting and exciting opportunities.

      Cons

      The hours are long, the metrics are demanding (and often completely nonsensical), and employees quickly hit a ceiling in terms of skills that are developing and knowledge that can be obtained. Turnover rates are very high, and upper management/execs are out of touch with the ultimately very human element that comes with a job such as this one. Managers are young, which is exciting for people not too far removed from college looking for the experience, but many aren't good at being managers as a result and there's no real way to inform upper management of this.

      Pros

      The employee experience at GLG is incredibly dependent on the team. Some teams are highly autonomous & unstructured, others have rigid guidelines around responsibilities and expectations. GLG has a lot of really smart people - a key to being happy at the company is finding places where you can work with these people and stretch outside of your daily responsibilities. It's a company that rewards initiative, and promotes fairly quickly if you have earned it. GLG is also flexible - after you've proven yourself, if you say you want to: move to another office, focus on a different task, join a different client segment, etc. - that's all totally possible.

      Cons

      There's a lack of excitement about working at GLG. The office is nice, the people are smart, but I'm not sure anyone is truly passionate about being there.

      GLG Response

      Your review’s headline really jumped out at me because I couldn’t agree more. I’ve worked for a number of companies in an array of roles and I know that work is what you make of it. I’m glad you’re having a good experience, and I appreciate your call out of how much opportunity there is at GLG. The senior leadership team is focused on providing good experiences to everyone who works here. Like I’ve said in other responses, the areas you’ve flagged for improvement – like career paths and GLG’s diversity – are top priorities for me and other senior leaders. Thank you.
