Pros

Overall - it was fun and exciting in the beginning then became exhausting and mundane. GLG hosts great happy hours where you will meet a lot of great people who will eventually turn into great friendships. Good job for post grads to get their feet wet.

Cons

I can agree with just about all the cons I read from the other reviews. I will add a few of my own 1. The recruiters do a horrible job at explaining this job/ tasks/ pay. During the interview process no one can give a clear answer about the pay and the commission structure. This can be a very high paying job but expect to work after and doing a lot of lead generation when you get home from work. 2. Managers will push and push for you to stay late yet they are always the first ones to leave. Managers will bribe treats and breakfast on some days in the AM for those who come early. 3. Managers are only worried about themselves and the numbers they have to turn into their direct managers and these numbers are the numbers the recruiters are bringing in. *the stress of this role is not worth it.

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.
