Pros

Leadership is communicative and transparent, and demonstrates an eagerness to create a more inclusive environment at the company. Encouraging culture in which employees feel comfortable taking time off and otherwise balancing their professional and personal lives. Strong sense of teamwork and collaboration that extends across functions and offices. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, GLG has transitioned to remote work very effectively, with plenty of support resources, open communication flowing both top-down and bottom-up, and an overriding sense that we're in this together.

Cons

Lack of diversity, both in leadership and throughout the company. The leadership team has outlined its commitment to improving this, as well as some next steps it will take to do so, but concrete change has yet to materialize.

Business Outlook

Pros

The job in itself is fairly easy to learn and do as there are very strongly outlined SOP:s and KPI they want you to adhere to.

Cons

There are no real career paths for CD Associates (those recruiting experts), unlike CS (those talking with the clients), unless they transfer out to other departments.
