Pros

the pay is decent enough you work on interesting projects that you will later hear about in the news

Cons

if you have previously worked anywhere else, don't bother trying to bring any new ideas or advice. your colleagues will be fresh out of college, and your boss will be your age or younger. The average tenure of a new hire is roughly 1.5-2 years. don't expect to make a career out of this the hours are long, as you are expected to respond to clients until 9pm and on the weekends. they will tell you work hours end at 5:30pm, but you are reprimanded for leaving "on-time". there is no traditional lunch break. if you or your team are busy, you don't get to leave.

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

Not applicable at all (truly)

Cons

Genuinely I don’t know where to start. I’ve submitted and deleted two reviews in the past 3 months alone. On the surface GLG seems like the place to be to learn from members and executives, but just give it a little bit of time and you’ll quickly see how obvious the cracks are. The culture here is so toxic, managers either do not know or don’t want to delegate project work so you’ll find yourself getting whiplash just trying to get information related to your job from your OWN BOSS. At the same time everyone you interact with is the epitome of “that’s not my job”. The executive leadership team is a mean girls club made up entirely of friends of friends who have their direct reports working well into the night to pull things together so that they look good. The “motivators” the executives use is truly bullying (like constantly pulling up your job description to purposefully make you look and feel small) any other organization would identify making your employees purposely feel stupid and shut down as straight bullying. It’s truly no surprise that you will regularly see employees crying in the hallways. I have never seen a leadership team this incompetent.
