Pros

- Opportunity to advance quickly within the organization - Prestigious Client base spanning F500, top investors, and others - Overall culture of empathy and caring across teams - Sense of purpose and belonging with your team/business - co-workers feel like family

Cons

- Can be difficult to translate this work experience into future job given uniqueness of company & responsibilities (working within a knowledge marketplace is a smaller subset of firms compared to... consumer goods, software, etc) - Culture of continuous improvement is real; expect to test new workflows, processes, and ideas on a daily basis. Some ideas will fail - it can be challenging to be constantly evolving/shooting at a moving target - We work with tough Clients - this means you will likely be expected to respond to Clients after-hours/on weekends if you are in a Client facing role

Pros

I've been with GLG for over 5 years and have had an incredible experience. The best part of working here is the PEOPLE. We hire smart, talented and driven professionals who are down to earth and incredibly interesting. Management is supportive/ approachable and mentorship is encouraged. Individuals are recognized for their work and considered for new opportunities which keeps employees engaged and continuously learning/improving/moving up in the the company. Additionally, GLG encourages entrepreneurship-- if you have an idea for a new product, process improvement, new workflow etc the Management team wants to hear about it and will seriously consider your suggestions. Oftentimes these employee-based ideas come to fruition at the company. Further, GLG gives you exposure to working with clients DIRECTLY even at a more junior level. If you want to gain real, hands-on and intense client service experience, GLG is a great place for that. The skills you learn in client solutions, content, & business development can be applied and used across various roles within GLG AND beyond GLG, as one's career continues to evolve and develop. I can't say enough great things about my experience and my career at GLG. I've learned a great deal, I have met incredible mentors & lifelong friends and I've become a better professional by working here.

Cons

I don't have anything negative to say about GLG.

Pros

The top management is doing its best to incorporate all the demands that have been made recently by members of the CDA in Dublin. There's also a very admirable effort from the company to adapt and keep business going as smoothly as possible in Covid-19 times.

Cons

Not much on that end for now
