Pros

GLG is a company of continuous improvement. I've admired how much that company has changed in the nearly 4 years that I had been there. It looks and feels completely different, from 2015. In a good way! I think taking an approach of continuous improvement is something that GLG-ers should take to heart personally and professionally as it is a great approach to taking a critical look at what's working, what can be working better, and how we can raise the bar to do even better next time, in every experience in your life! GLG is all about the people. It is what kept me at that company for nearly 4 years and I had the opportunity to work with and learn from so many strong leaders at GLG. The company is lucky to have a lot of the strong leaders that it has fostered. GLG has made a lot of improvements, especially in the past two years in the form of their trainings and onboarding for new hires as well as ongoing training for new managers. I hope that continues to improve because having a really involved manager can make or break your experience at GLG.

Cons

There is still some room for improvement, especially in terms of clear job responsibilities and expectations for night/weekend work. GLG is not a 9-5 job (in a good way) it keeps you busy and challenges you. But just make sure everyone knows the benefit of those challenges and has the opportunity to recharge.

Pros

There are enough miserable employees, that you band together and form strong friendships.

Cons

GLG is a cult, treats employees like cattle, herding us from team to team. In my 1.5 years at GLG I have been on 5 different teams, partly because everyone hates it so much that they leave, and partly because GLG just ushers you around with zero regards for you and your career and what you may want to get out of the experience. The good thing is, you are considered a veteran if you have been there for more than 1.5 years!! Wow, imagine that. People leave in herds. It is widely known at GLG that everyone is looking for a job. It is shocking to find people who aren't actively searching for other opportunities. Managers aren't trained, and many are given manager roles, 2 years out of undergrad with zero training. In addition, there is a high level of paranoia. Colleagues are questioned when they go to lunch with teammates, and managers laugh when we suggest we take an hour lunch break, as is written in the employee handbook. On public holidays, the expectation is that at least one person from the team is working remotely. This means that, for example, on a holiday like 4th July, someone is working, for no additional compensation. The work is monotonous and dry; my 9th grade classes were honestly more challenging. Upper management spends more money on producing cultish videos than actually making any change. I could write a lot more, but quite honestly, GLG is not worth it. All I can say is, unless you are desperate, do yourself a favor and don't work here.

Each employee’s experience is important to us, and we’re sorry this was yours. Rapid growth requires a level of agility that can be tricky to get right. We know this. That’s why, as we enter this next chapter, we’re relying on insights from employees around the world to determine what matters most to us as a company. We’re continuing to refine our flex work policy to ensure the fairest and most sensible solution for everyone. We’re also restructuring (and adjusting expectations for) a number of our roles to better reflect the nature of the work. We’re committed to finding new ways to make GLG a great place to work for everybody – regardless of role, department, or level of seniority.
