Pros

Work with smart, younger people and teamwork is important

Cons

It's a glorified recruiting job with lots of cold calling and emailing. I felt like I was bugging people most of the time but there is no way to get around it. The expected hours are 8-6 but you will stay on until closer to 7. Someone has to be on a night shift every night as well as Holidays. The people that excel in this role are "on" basically all day including weekends. Ask the right questions in the interview to make sure you're the right person for the job.

Pros

- Great team and great product - Awesome networking! If you’re good at your job your clients will poach you and we had an impressive Rolodex of big names - Consultative selling experience so you’ll have recruiters reach out to you if you’re in sales because it’s seen as more difficult to master than product sales

Cons

There is no transparency at the company — we sit through town halls where a board of old white male execs play Journey songs and talk about “magic” and “people-centric values.” The sad reality is you’re just a work horse. I was told I was the highest performer, even given the highest quota of annual revenue to bring in for my Business Unit by the company (which doubled between 2020 and 2021 at the company’s SOLE discretion) but the other leads were white, 20 years my senior and had a lower quota (by 2 MILLION) and were being paid 50% more than me. They also managed teams smaller than me and came to me for management advice... When I broached this with management, my new manager’s response was “That’s all I can get you.” No discussion around HOW I can get to equal pay, or how I can move forward. GLG loves to talk about its progressive support for Diversity and Inclusion, they’ll host talks (which is great!) and open town halls with more white execs expressing their sadness at our minority experience but when given the actual chance to step up and be an agent of change - to lessen wage gaps, to elevate minority voices, to simply just care on a human level... management is suddenly quiet, no more journey songs, no more tunes of magic or concern — just “this is what you get.”
