Pros

Projects come to you, nice co-workers, decent pay

Cons

Long hours, no room for promotion, 5 days in office, owning every aspect of the job, must recruit new profiles, high expectations of delivering within an hour. GLG has changed so much under recent administration that it is almost no longer recognizable as it once was. The work is still possible and comes in to you, but they've eliminated support teams and moved the responsibilities onto the main workforce and raise expectations with no pay raises either. It used to be a great stepping stone to get titles and experience under your belt, but not anymore since promotion opportunities are gone.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
