A Great Place to Work

Pros

Having worked at a few companies before here, I can confidently say none of them put in the effort GLG does into making everyone feel like they are contributing and making a difference, regardless of title or level. It is a collaborative and supportive environment, which creates endless opportunities to learn from all the smart, talented and hardworking people here. Everything starts from the top and it is very refreshing to see senior leadership actually care about making this company a great place to work.

Cons

There have recently been significant changes made throughout the company, and although change is never easy, leadership took the time to implement all aspects correctly to ensure a smooth transition for both employees and clients. It is just the beginning, but you can already feel the positive impact these changes have made company wide.

Pros

I worked at GLG for 3 years and struggle to give a rating (I put 3 stars, but my experience ranges from 2 to 4.5). Couple of factors: a lot depends on the group you work for and the entire company is undergoing a massive transition right now, following the start of the new CEO in March 2018. I had a great experience for about 2-2.5 out of my 3 years with the company. The group I worked with had a good culture. I had great opportunities for interfacing with senior clients, working on a range of projects and had a boss who was supportive of my path to advancement. A lot of company-wide changes were set into motion when the new CEO joined at the start of 2018 and my group's leadership changed the following year. I left because I was no longer aligned with either the business strategy nor the people strategy. PROS: Potentially a quick path to advancement, exposure to senior leaders, range of work

Cons

In the current transition, which has resulted in a mass exodus of GLG-ers across offices / business units, the perception is that there is no focus on people and the overall business has become very transactional vs. client relationship centric
